Abstract

In Continuum Mechanic a simple material body B\mathcal{B} is represeted by a three-dimensional differentiable manifold and the configuration space is given by the space of embeddings Emb(B,Rn)Emb \left( \mathcal{B} , \mathbb{R}^{n} \right). We use the topology of infinite-dimensional manifold of this space, to present the first variation formula for Lagrangian mechanics.
