This book presents three plate models, those of Cosserat, Reissner-Mindlin and Kirchhoff-Love respectively. From the point of view of the kinematics hypothesis, these range from the most general to the most restrictive; and from the point of view of the formulation of the model, these range from the simplest to the most complex.
While the explanation clearly demonstrates how the models are related to each other, it also allows the reader to approach each model independently.
This book is aimed at Mathematics and Engineering postgraduate students, researchers and mechanical and civil engineers. Furthermore, this book will also serve as a good introduction for those who wish to study shell models, as the tensor tools used are exactly the same and as the formulation of these theories is similar in all points to plate theory.
