Abstract
Recently, the plate bending analysis has been interpreted in terms of the tensor's components of curvatures and
bending moments by presenting the conceptual perspectives of the Hydrostatic Method of Analysis (HM) and theoretical
formulations that combine the continuum mechanics with the graphical statics analysis, the theory of thin orthotropic and isotropic plates, and the elasticity theory. In pursuance of uncovering a genuine formulation of the plate's flexural differential equations, that possess the general-covariance and coordinates-independency. This study had then, tackled various natural and structural problems in both solid and fluid branches of the continuum mechanics in a description of such theoretical and conceptual attainment in uncovering the dimensional independent diffeomorphism covariant partial differential laws.
