An energy-like trial-functional is developed with a certain unknown function pertaining to the smaller number of constitutive variables. The new trial-functional with the new unknown function are derived through the variation of the old trial-functional. Finally, the final trial-functional is achieved when the corresponding unknown function becomes constant. The present theory provides a complete basis for the finite element applications and other direct variational methods such as Ritz, Trefftz and Kantorovitch methods UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a1zMLtDa0xOHhK4L-f3_5IadDGEE02hX/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
