Introduction and Motivation
Book chapter, 2020
“Divide and Conquer” is a paradigm that helped Julius Cesar to dominate on the wide Roman Empire. The power of dividing systems, then analyze them as parts before combining them in an assembly, is also an approach often followed in science and engineering. In this introductory chapter, we shortly discuss the main idea behind domain decomposition and substructuring applied to mechanical systems.
