1. Nonlinear behavior laws: fundamental principles and examples
1.1 Assumptions and formulation framework
The problem of describing the mechanical behavior of materials, which began in the middle of the 20th century, has undergone a real expansion in the world of research and industry with the development of calculation methods such as the famous finite element method.
