"Long" Plates(Cylindrical Bending)
An equation relating the deflections to the loading can be developed as for the beam.
Cylindrical Bending:
A plate which is bent about one axis only(a>>b)
Transverse deformation does not occur,
since such a deformation would required a saddle shape deformation.

E΄ : effective modulus of elastictiy, always > E.
→ A plate is always “stiffer” than a row of beams
For a long prismatically loaded plate, the extra stiffness may be fully taken into account for by using E΄ in place of E.

Plane cross sections remain plane.
The deflections of the plate are small(wmax not exceeding 3/4 t)
The maximum stress nowhere exceeds the plate yield stress(i.e., the material remains elastic

Boundary Conditions
The types of restraint around the boundary of a plate can be idealized as follows:
1. Simply supported: edges free to rotate and to move in the plane 2. Pinned: edges free to rotate but not free to move in the plane
3. Clamped but free to slide: edges not free to rotate but free to move in the plane of the plate;
4. Rigidly clamped: edges not free to rotate or move in the plane
In most plated frame structures (particularly in vehicles and free- standing structure) : little restraint against edge pull-in.

Large-Deflection Plate Theory
Membrane stress arises when the deflection becomes large and/or when the edges are prevented from pulling in.
Small-deflection theory fails to allow for membrane stresses.
As the deflection increases, an increasing prortion of the load is carried by this membrane action.
The lateral load is supported by both bending and membrane action.
Amore comprehensive plate theory, usually referred to as "large- deflection" plate theory.

Membrane Tension(Edges Restrained Against Pull-in)
The relative magnitude of membrane effects depends on
: the degree of lateral deflection or "curvature" of the plate surface the degree to which the edges are restrained form pulling in.
If the edges are restrained and large deflection (w>1.5 t)
the contribution of membrane tension > bending, vice versa.
In ship plating : little restraint against edge pull-in
for large deflections, supporting stiffeners or beams fails earlier.
Nevertheless, some situations in which large deflections can be permitted,
→ the use of membrane tension can give substantial weight savings.
