This text provides a rigorous presentation of the quasidifferentiability approach to nonconvex, possibly nonsmooth, energy functions of the derivation and study of the corresponding variational expressions in mechanics, engineering and economics, and of their numerical treatment. The new variational formulations derived are illustrated by many interesting numerical problems. The techniques presented should permit the reader to check any solution obtained by other heuristic techniques for nonconvex, nonsmooth energy problems. Civil, mechanical or aeronautical engineers should find in the book a mathematically sound technique for the formulation and study of nonconvex, nonsmooth energy problems.

`... In view of the growing number of recent publications dealing with nonsmooth and set-valued modelling ... this book, which was written by a multidisciplinary group of authors, seems to be the first attempt to make nonsmooth modelling and set-valued techniques accessible to applied scientists by presenting the quasidifferentiable approach by means of concrete applications. ... The book provides significant help to scientists or graduate students who need an authoritative and understandable introduction to this field, and who would also, like to extend his/her ability to model nonsmooth complicated effects in his/her work. It may also serve as a reference book for advanced graduate courses in nonsmooth modelling, optimization and engineering. ... The book appears very attractive and it is certainly unique ...'
