contents It is shown that when the well-known minimal complementary energy variational principle in linear elastostatics is written in a different form with the strain tensor as an independent variable and the constitutive relation as one of the constraints, the removal of the constraints by Lagrange multipliers leads to a three-field variational principle with the displacement vector, stress field and strain field as independent variables. This three-field variational principle is without constrains and its variational functional is different from those of the existing three-field variational principles. The generalization is not unique. The procedure is mathematical and may be used in other branches of physics.
