Shear deformation higher order plate theroies - variational consistent

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the principles of higher-order shear deformation plate theories, specifically addressing the consistency of governing differential equations and boundary conditions derived from a variational approach. It emphasizes that the governing differential equations must align with the assumed displacement field, ensuring the integrity of the theoretical framework. Additionally, it highlights the necessity for boundary conditions to be consistent with these governing equations, reinforcing the validity of the variational method in plate theory analysis.
