The classical small deflection theory of elastic plates id based on the Kirchhoff-Lore assumptions ̄[1,2].Ther are used on the basis of the thinness of plate and the smallness of deflection.In terms of Cartesian tensor coordinates x_i(i=0, 12)these basic assumptions are:(1)the transversal normal strain may be neglected i.e._(00)=0;(2)the transversal shear strain may be neglected i.e.e_(0α)=0(α= 1, 2)(3)the transversal normal stress may be neglected i.e.. σ_(00)=0 .In classical theory of elastic plates,the strain-displacement relations and the corresponding stress-displacement relations are established on the basis of these assumptions. And the equations of the classical theory for a set of undetermined quantities defined on the middle surface are established through integrating the three dimensional equations of equilibrium of stress over the thickness.In the previous papers ̄[3,4,5],an approximation theory is given on the basis of Ihree dimensional theory of elastic plates without using Kirchhoff-Love assumptions。However,no uniqueness study is given,and also the boundary conditions have never been studied. In this paper.the same problems are studied on the basis of generalizedvariational principle of the three dimensional theory of elastic bodies ̄[6].The stationary conditions of variation give an unique and complete set of field equations and the related boundary conditions for the approximation theory.In this paper,the first order approximation theory is studied in detail.
