โฆ Synopsis
Two, complementary, variational
principles can be applied in the analysis of dynamic systems. Often it appears to be difficult to formulate a given system in terms of the so-called "complementary variational principle." In the case of a linear, finite dimensional system, however, we can always obtain a complementary formulation of the problem by means of a repeated application of the Legendre transformation either to the system Lagrangian or, in the case of a system with ignorable coordinates, to the system Routhian.

Two principles are basic in the variational formulations of elasticity. Green's "variation for displacements" leads to the principle of minimum potential energy, whereas Castigliano's "variation for stresses" leads to the principle of minimum complementary energy. In the small vibration of elastic b
