Question: Using Classical Plate Theory ( Kirchhoff - Love Theory ) and First - Order Shear Deformation Theory ( FSDT ) , derive the governing equations

Using Classical Plate Theory (Kirchhoff-Love Theory) and First-Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), derive the governing equations for the composite plate under aerodynamic forces, internal pressure, and temperature gradients. Consider the effects of orthotropic material properties and analyze the stress and strain distribution across the plate using these theories.
(NOTE THAT IT IS A COMPOSITE PLATE NOT A LINEAR ELASTIC ISOTROPIC MATERIAL.
AND IT IS FOR A MASTER DEGREE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING LEVEL)
