The Constitutive Relation Error method : a general verification tool

This chapter reviews the Constitutive Relation Error method as a general verification tool which is very suitable to compute strict and effective error bounds for linear and more generally convex Structural Mechanics problems. The review is focused on the basic features of the method and the most recent developments.
