Kirchhoff plate modelling using finite element method

The Kirchhoff plate theory works well for thin plates where the real shear strains are small. In this study, the development of Kirchhoff plate theory using FEM is presented. The equilibrium condition of the problem defined as 2 0 2 2 2 2 2 � � � � � � � � � � � q y M x y M x Mxx xy yy is investigat...
