It descripts a system using the energy concept. The total energy of the system, which is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy. Its formula often looks like H = T + V, where T represents kinetic energy and V represents potential energy.

Both the quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics have shared a similar concept.

In structural mechanics, we use the virtual method to calculate the hyperstatic structure to determine displacements in a structure, given forces acting on the structure. Another kind of Hamiltonian.
