Abstract
In his pioneering work, Kirchhoff [4] established the so-called classical plate theory. With a set of (partly self-contradictory) a priori assumptions and the concepts of ersatz-shear forces as well as corner forces, Kirchhoffs theory delivers accurate results for thin plates undergoing small deformations. In a series of papers, Reissner [ 10-12] extended the theory in considering effects of shear deformations and stresses acting transversely to the plate mid-surface. The refinement of plate theories in various directions is a subject of still ongoing research. Some of the latest achievements are collected in a special issue of ZAMP [ 14] dedicated to Eric Reissner.
