Inspirations and equations derived from VAM for mechanics of student life

<p>The lecture&nbsp;discusses the application of variational principles in mechanics and life. Starting with an overview of the development of ideas of variational principles, the lecture addresses&nbsp;various aspects of modeling in aerospace structures. In particular, the lecture focused on the modeling of composite materials using the Variational Asymptotic Method (VAM). The lecture was delivered by Prof. Dineshkumar Harursampath and hosted by Dr. Ajay B Harish. The session Q&amp;A was transcribed by Dr. Ajay B Harish.</p>
