plate( as a simply supported thin plate)
1. Assumptions

1. The plate is thin, and its thickness (h) is much smaller than its lateral
dimensions (a,b).
2. Material is isotropic and homogeneous.
3. The plate deflects under transverse load q(x,y) and the deflection w(x,y)
is small compared to the plate's thickness.
4. Plane sections normal to the mid-plane remain plane and perpendicular
after deformation (Kirchhoff hypothesis).
5. The normal stress σz in the thickness direction is negligible.

2. Geometry and Notation

 h: Thickness of the plate.


 a,b Dimensions of the plate along the xxx- and y-axes, respectively.
 w(x,y): Transverse deflection of the plate's mid-surface.
 q(x,y): Transverse load per unit area applied on the plate.

Consider a small rectangular element of the plate subjected to bending and

For a simply supported rectangular plate, the boundary conditions are:

1. w=0 (no deflection along the edges),


2. Mx=0 and My=0 (no moments along the edges).

These boundary conditions are applied to solve for w(x,y) in specific


problems.

Consider the plate bending under in-plane loads. The plate's equilibrium is
governed by the balance of transverse loads (q) and bending moments due to the
deformation.

influences the transverse displacement www. The differential terms for these forces
