Abstract
In Chapter 2, the governing constitutive equations were developed in detail, describing the relationships between integrated stress resultants (N x , N y , N xy ), integrated stress couples ( M x , M y , M xy ), in-plane mid-surface strains ( ∈0 x , ∈0 y , ∈0 xy ), and the curvatures (K x , K y , K xy ), as seen in Equations (2.62). These will be utilized with the strain-displacement relations of (2.40) and (2.42) and the equilibrium equations to be developed in Section 3.2 to develop structural theories for thin walled bodies. the structural form in which composite materials are most generally employed. Plates and panels are discussed in this chapter. Beams. rods and columns are discussed in Chapter 4. Shells will be the subject of Chapter 5. The use of energy methods for solving structures problems is discussed in Chapter 6. However to study any of the structural equations it is necessary to develop suitable equilibrium equations first.
