Variational and Potential Methods in the Theory of Bending of Plates with Transverse Shear Deformation

by Christian Constanda and I. Chudinovich

Elastic plates form a class of very important mechanical structures that appear in a wide range of practical applications, from building bodies to microchip production. As the sophistication of industrial designs has increased, so has the demand for greater accuracy in analysis. This in turn has led modelers away from Kirchoff's classical theory for thin plates and toward increasingly refined models that yield not only the deflection of the middle...
