classification of plates - based on the ratio of least lateral dimension to thickness(a/h)of the plate

1. Thick plate when a/h ratio is less than 10

2. thin plates when a/h ratio is between 10 and 80

3. menbranes - when a/h ratio is greater than 80

Thin plates are again classified based on the ratio of deformation to thickness (w/h) of plate

1.stiff plate - when w/h is less than or equal to 0.2

2.Flexible plate- w/h is greater than or equal to 0.3
