A '''plate''' is a [[structural element]] which is characterized by a three-dimensional solid whose thickness is very small when compared with other dimensions.<ref>{{Cite web|lastlast1=Steele|firstfirst1=Charles R.|last2=Balch|first2=Chad D.|date=2009-04-02|title=Introduction to the Theory of Plates|url=https://web.stanford.edu/~chasst/Course%20Notes/Introduction%20to%20the%20Theory%20of%20Plates.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-12-14|website=|publisher=Stanford University|format=PDF}}</ref>
 
The effects of the loads that are expected to be applied on it only generate stresses whose [[net force|resultants]] are, in practical terms, exclusively [[Normal (geometry)|normal]] to the element's thickness. Their mechanics are the main subject of the [[plate theory]].
