Flat Plates
13.1 Introduction
• Flat plate
– A structural member whose middle surface lies in a plane
– Thickness is normal to the mid-surface plane
– Thickness relatively small to length and width
– May be constant or variable thickness

13.3 Kinematics:
Strain-Displacement Equations of Plates
• Let U, V and W be the components of the displacement
vector
• The purpose of plate theory is to reduce the 3D problem to a
more tractable 2D problem
• Kirchhoff assumed straight-line normals to the undeformed
middle surface (reference plane) remain
– Straight
– Inextensible
– Normal to the midsurface
Plane strain
• Kirchhoff assumption
– Not limited to small displacements
– Material independent
– OK for both elastic and inelastic conditions Fig. 13.5 5
