This book provides novel insights into two fundamental subjects in
solid mechanics: virtual work and shape change. The author explains
how the principle of virtual work represents a tool for analysis of
the mechanical effects of the evolution of the shape of a system,
how it can be applied to observations and experiments, and how it
may be adapted to produce predictive theories of numerous
phenomena. The book is divided into three parts. The first relates
the principle of virtual work to what we observe with our eyes, the
second demonstrates its flexibility on the basis of many examples,
and the third applies the principle to predict the motion of solids
with large deformations. Examples of both usual and unusual shape
changes are presented, and equations of motion, some of which are
entirely new, are derived for smooth and non-smooth motions
associated with, for instance, systems of disks, systems of balls,
classical and non-classical small deformation theories, systems
involving volume and surface damage, systems with interactions at a
distance (e.g., solids reinforced by fibers), systems involving
porosity, collisions, and fracturing of solids.
