Foreword to the Augmented Edition
The reappearance of this book represents the culmination of a long-standing dream of mine. The original was published in 1973. A successor volume, built on much of the foundation of the first book to incorporate an extensive text of the finite element method, first appeared in 1985. Notwithstanding the passage of time since these volumes, or the advances in finite element analysis, both theory and application, the original book on variational methods in mechanics continues to attract attention from points flung far around the globe. To this day, I get questions about points in the book and inquiries about the availability of solutions to its vast array of problems. Consequently, I have long hoped to see our original
