Abstract

We present a deduction of the Kirchhoff–Love and Reissner–Mindlin kinematics of a simply-connected plate by using the formal asymptotic development method applied to the compatibility conditions of Saint-Venant and the formula of Cesàro–Volterra. This formal deduction is purely geometrical because we do not use any information coming from the loading or the constitutive behavior.
