## Modeling of a nonlinear plate

We consider modeling of a nonlinear thin plate under the following assumptions: (a) the materials are nonlinear; (b) the deflections are small (linear strain displacement relations). When the middle surface is planar, we consider the bending of a plate to establish the strain energy, the equilibrium equations, and the motion equations. For a shell with a curved middle surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we derive a nonlinear model where a deformation in three-dimensions is concerned.
