Basic Assumptions
~In the initial state, the surfaces of a flat plate are parallel planes,
called the faces of the plate
~The distance between the faces is called the thickness of the plate.
~A plate is distinguished from a block by the fact that the thickness is small
compared to the dimensions paralled to the faces.
~The plane midway between the faces is called the middle plane of the plates
~The bending properties of plate depend greatly on its thickness as compared
with its other dimensions.
:We will discuss the linear static theory of thin elastic plate in this chapter.

4-1-1 Kinematics of Deformation
The fundamental assumptions of the small deflection theory of bending or so
called classical theory of isotropic homogeneous elastic thin plate
; Kirchhoff – Love hypothesis material property change
Kinematic Assumptions
1. Deflection of mid-surface is small compared with the thickness of the plate.
: Slope of the deflected surface is very small and the square of the slope is a
negligible quantity in comparison with unity
2.The mid-plane remains unstrained subsequent to bending
# Large deflection case ?
3. Plane sections initially normal to surface remains plane and normal to that
surface after the bending : 0( 1,2)~ ~z
G
Before bending ~> After bending ?
? Higher-order theory
? Thick plate theory ~ Mindlin plate theory
4. No stretching or contraction of normal : 0zz
5.The stress normal to the mid-plane, :zz
small compared with the other stress
components and may be neglected
: This assumption becomes unreliable in the vicinity of highly concentracted
transverse loads.

The 1st condition is acceptable by physical consideration and needs no
further comment.
We shall now examine the 2nd
condition with the view reaching some
physical explanation. :
We have shown part of the edge of the plate when two panels of length S
have been identified.
_ Figure_
The twisting moments have been expressed in the first and second panel. A
third panel of length S may be imagined the center of two panels, which is
shown in Fig AB. The shear force for thin panel is shown as nQ S .
Now we make use of the Saint-Venant principle by replacing the twisting
moment distribution of the original two panels by two couples having forces
value nsM and ns

respectively with a distance of S between the
forces as shown in the figure.
Clearly, any conclusion arising from the new arrangement valid away from
the edege. Now we focus on attention on the central panel AB. The effective
shear force intensity, effQ for this panel is then seen to be
1[ ( ) ]ns ns

M MQ Q S M S M Q
S s s
We may now say that the 2nd
of our natural boundary conditions renders the
effective shear force intensity equation to zero. From the above equations we
can see that the difference nsM
s
does work in the same manner as nQ and
these two effect cannot distinguished.
The force per unit length, nsM
s
is called Kirchhoff supplementary force.
This explanation is by Thomson and Tait.
Because we employed a constitutive equation, Hook law, in the formulation it
might seem that the natural boundary conditions are restricted to Hookean
material.
In the next section, no constitutive law is used and we will derive the general
moment intensity and shear force intensity equations present in Sec.3.1.3.a
4.1.3.c.(Thin Plate) Virtual work Approach (Rectangular plate)
In using the principle of virtual work, we shall consider a rectangular plate.
In particular we shall examine closely the corner condition for such a problem.
We now apply the principle of virtual work, under the assumption of plane
stress, to a rectangular plane having dimensions a b h and loaded normal to
the middle-plane of the plate by a loading intensity ( , )q x y .

A Note on the Validity of the Classical Plate Theory
Now we have discussed fully for the classical theory of plate.
It seems to be the time to note the validity of the theory which we
have used the assumption of plane stress in the plate. By establishing
the order of magnitude of the stresses we can make comparisons as
follows. The transverse shears z are smaller by an order of h/L
( L: characteristic length of the middle plane) than the middle plane
shear ( ) . Also the transverse normal stress zz is smaller by
an order (h/L)2 than the middle plane normal stresses ( )( ) Thus
for a very thin plate h/L<<1/10, we have inner consistency and the
classical plate theory may be expected to give good results.
For a moderately thin plate, especially in the vicinity of concentrated
loads it might be well to account for the effects of transverse shear
deformation.
It is obvious from the equilibrium considerations that such stresses
will seldom be zero. Accordingly, we used assurance that the classical
plate theory, under proper conditions, yield meaningful results.
There are two approaches:
1. Compare with the results from a more exact theory
~ Theory of elasticity
2. Determine the bounds on the magnitude of stresses 3i that have
been deleted from the theory to show that these stresses, although
not zero, are nevertheless small compared to the stressesw.
In view of the scarcity of the exact solutions for plate bending
problem from 3-dimensional theory of elasticity, we shall follow the
latter procedure.
For this purpose,

To do so, we shall next make an order of magnitude study

4.2 Shear deformable plate theory
So far, theory of thin plate have been established based on Kirchhoff-Love
assumptions
In this section we shall consider the small deflection theory of thick plates
including the effect of transverse shear deformation which was neglected
despite of the fact that we know from equilibrium considerations that it was
not zero. This addition in our treatment of plates is analogous to the
Timoshenko beam theory.
In accordance with Reissner‟ theory we assume a linear law for distribution
of stresses σ𝑥𝑥 , σ𝑦𝑦 and σ𝑥𝑦 through the thickness of the plate. It may be
seen by replacing the bracked expression of the bending part in

4.3 von Karman Plate theory
The theory of small deflection of thin plate was derived in the previous sections
under the assumption of infinitesimal displacement. For small deflection ( max 0.2w h )
the theory gives sufficiently accurate results. By increasing the magnitude of
deflection beyond a certain level ( max 0.3w h ) however, the lateral deflections are
accompanied by stretching of the middle surface, provided that the edges, or at least
the corners, of the plate are restrained again in-plane motion. Membrane forces
produced by such stretching can help appreciably in carrying the lateral load.
If the plate, for instance, is permitted to deform beyond its thickness,
its load-carrying capacity is already significantly increased.
When maxw h , the membrane action becomes comparable to that of bending.
This is in sharp contrast with the theory of beams, for which the linear theory is valid
as long as the slope of the deflection curve is everywhere small in comparison to
unity.
Figure : Deflection of simply-supported square plate under constant lateral load
A well known theory of large deflection of thin pates is due to von Karman.
In this theory, the following assumptions are made.
~ ( )w O h and w L ; L : typical plate dimension
~The typical displacements ,u v are small, and in the strain-displacement
relations only the quadratic terms in ,xw and , yw are retained.
(or strains are much smaller than rotations)
~Kirchhoff‟s assumption that lines normal to the un-deformed middle surface
remain normal to this surface in the deformed state and are un-extended after
deformation holds.
~The slope is everywhere small, , 1xw and , 1yw .
~All strains are small and Hooke‟s law holds.
Thus von Karman theory differs from the linear theory only in retaining certain
powers of derivatives ,xw and , yw in the strain-displacement relationship. Because of
the Kirchhoff assumption we may write

If a flat surface is deformed into a non-developable surface its middle plane will be
stretched in some way and the right-hand side of above equation does not vanish.
Thus, these nonlinear terms arise from the stretching of the middle plane of a flat
plate due to bending into a non-developable surface.
When the nonlinear terms in the above equations are neglected, these equations
reduce to the corresponding equations to the small-deflection theory.

If the deflection of a plate is of the order of magnitude of its thickness, the
differential equations for the deflection and the displacement can be written in terms
of one fourth order and two second order nonlinear equations. These three equations
are coupled together.
The purpose of the present investigation is to develop a simple and yet sufficiently
accurate method for determining the deflection of plates when that deflection is of
the order of magnitude of the thickness. The approach used in the following analysis
is to investigate the effect of neglecting the strain energy due to the 2nd invariant of
the strains in the middle surface of the plate when deriving the differential equation
by the energy methods. The resulting differential equations are still nonlinear, but
they can be decoupled in such a manner that they may be solved readily.
These equations hereafter will be referred to as the approximate equations. To solve
the problem of large deflections of plates completely, an estimate of the membrane
stresses must be made. This can be done by assuming that the deflection is equal to
that given by the solution to the approximate equations and substituting this
deflection into the strain energy integral. The strain energy is then a function of the
displacements only and, by the principle of virtual displacements, differential
equations can be derived for these displacements..
It is the intent of this investigation to develop a simplified analysis for finding the
deflection of plates when that deflection is large enough so that the strain of the
middle surface cannot be neglected.
H.M. Berger “ A New Approach to the analysis of Large Deflection of Plates”
(b) Banerjee‟s Method
For thin plates undergoing large deflections, a modified energy expressions has been
suggested and a new set of differential equations has been obtained in a decoupled
form. Accuracy of the equations has been tested for a circular and a square plate with
immovable as well as movable edge conditions under a uniform static load. These
new equations are more advantageous than Berger‟s decoupled equations which fail
to give meaningful results for movable edge conditions.
An approximate method for solving the large deflections of plate has been proposed
by Berger. This method is based on the neglect of 2e , the second invariant of the
middle surface strains, in the expression corresponding to the total potential energy
of the system. An advantage of Berger‟s method is that the coupled differential
equations are decoupled if 2e is neglected.
But, some authors pointed out certain inaccuracies in Berger‟s equations and
concluded that Berger‟s line of thought leads to meaningless results for movable
edge conditions. This is due to the fact that the neglect of 2e for movable edges
fails to simply freedom of rotation in the meridian planes where the membrane stress
2
2
1( , , )

exist.
For movable edges the in-plane displacement u is never zero and thus Berger‟s
equations lead to absurd results.
On the other hand, for immovable clamped edge,
0u and 0dw
dr and therefore, Berger‟s equations give sufficiently accurate results.
For simply supported immovable edges, 0u , but 0dw
dr . Thus Berger‟s equations
give fairly accurate result. A modified energy expression has been suggested by
bringing directly the expression for rr in the total potential energy of the system. A
new set of differential equations has been obtained in a decoupled form.
In polar coordinates, the total potential energy, V of a thin isotropic circular plate of
radius a, and of thickness h is given by
