Complementarity, Duality and Symmetry in Nonlinear Mechanics Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium

Complementarity, duality, and symmetry are closely related concepts, and have always been a rich source of inspiration in human understanding through the centuries, particularly in mathematics and science. The Proceedings of IUTAM Symposium on Complementarity, Duality, and Symmetry in Nonlinear Mech...
