Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Plates provides the theoretical materials necessary for the three plate models--Cosserat plates, Reissner-Mindlin plates and Kirchhoff-Love plates-- in the context of finite elastic deformations. One separate chapter is devoted to the linearized theory of Kirchhoff-Love plates, which allows for the study of vibrations of a pre-stressed plate and the static buckling of a plate. All mathematical results in the tensor theory in curvilinear coordinates necessary to investigate the plate theory in ...

Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Plates provides the theoretical materials necessary for the three plate models--Cosserat plates, Reissner-Mindlin plates and Kirchhoff-Love plates-- in the context of finite elastic deformations. One separate chapter is devoted to the linearized theory of Kirchhoff-Love plates, which allows for the study of vibrations of a pre-stressed plate and the static buckling of a plate. All mathematical results in the tensor theory in curvilinear coordinates necessary to investigate the plate theory in finite deformations are provided, making this a self-contained resource.
