We consider the terms 1 , 2 , 3 together and the terms 4 , 5 , 6 together, use the Green’s
d𝑦 d𝑥
theorem alongwith the relations 𝑛𝑥 = and 𝑛𝑦 = − . We also rearrange the remaining
d𝑠 d𝑠
terms. Thus, we obtain

For the right hand side of the virtual work equation we have
Substituting the expressions of LHS1 , LHS2 , and the RHS into the virtual work equation, col-
lecting the coefficients of 𝛿𝑢𝑠 , 𝛿𝑣𝑠 , and 𝛿𝑤𝑠 in the area integrals, and setting them individually
to zero we have the following governing equations:

Now, we expand (13c) and use (13a) and (13b) in it. We also use the the following

This is the first of the Föppl-von Karman equations. In this equation, both 𝑤 and 𝐹 are un-
known. So we need another equation to solve for 𝑤 and 𝐹 .
We know that the first of the compatibility equations is
Using (11), expanding the terms and simplifying, we obtain the following
