... approach (see, e.g., Sec. 4.1, part I). Methods of analysis based on the energy principles, as well known, are widely applied in all areas of structural engineering (e.g., Refs. 1 2 3 ), and are also the basis for approximate solution procedures, as in Sec. 4.2 of part I. As regards to the analysis...
