This paper presents a simplified formulation of the mechanics of a structure genome (MSG). The MSG is a unified theory for multiscale constitutive modeling for all types of composite structures. It is generalized from the previous research works based on the variational asymptotic method (VAM), including the variational asymptotic beam sectional analysis, the variational asymptotic plate and shell analysis, and the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization. In this paper, the original complex formulation of the MSG is simplified and the principle of minimum information loss underpinning the MSG is formalized. The simplified formulation of the MSG is applied to construct the linear elastic Euler–Bernoulli beam model, the Kirchhoff plate model, and three-dimensional Cauchy continuum model. The connections of the MSG to previous VAM-based theories are clearly pointed out.
