| Resumo: | This contribution sheds light on the role of infinite idealization in structural analysis, by exploring how infinite elements and finite element methods are combined in civil engineering models. This combination, I claim, should be read in terms of a 'complementarity function' through which the representational ideal of completeness is reached in engineering model-building. Taking a cue from Weisberg's definition of multiple-model idealization, I highlight how infinite idealizations are primarily meant to contribute to the prediction of structural behavior in Multiphysics approaches. |
