Abstract
AbstractClassical plates theories, like Kirchhoff's plate theory [1], are based on kinematical a‐priori assumptions. Avoiding these assumptions, we derive from the three‐dimensional theory of linear elasticity by means of Taylor‐series expansions the quasi two‐dimensional problem. This problem consists of infinitely many partial‐differential equations (PDEs) written in infinitely many displacement coefficients. With the consistent approximation approach we arrive at solvable hierarchical plate theories. By using the modular structure of the displacements coefficients (modularity), we obtain from these generic‐plate theories the complete‐plate theories, whose results fulfill the strong form of the local equilibrium conditions and the Neumann boundary conditions on the upper and lower face of the plate (local conditions) a‐priori. Furthermore, we show that every variable of the complete‐plate theories can be calculated.
