M, M, Q X y Q Q A B: Tutorial 1

The document contains 4 tutorials related to the analysis of thin plates. Tutorial 1 discusses the assumptions in Kirchhoff's plate theory and the derivation of expressions for maximum slope, bending moments, and strain energy in pure bending of plates. Tutorial 2 derives expressions for deflection, moments, and shear in rectangular plates under different loadings using Navier's method. Tutorial 3 uses Levy's method to derive deflection expressions for rectangular plates under uniform and triangular loads. Tutorial 4 considers circular plates under uniform loading and derives expressions for deflection, moments for simply supported and clamped boundary conditions. It also defines singly and doubly curved shells and discusses advantages and disadvantages of shell structures.
