Calculus of Variation Good Plates

The document provides 7 examples of using calculus of variation to determine governing equations. For each example, it states the given integral expression and boundary conditions, then shows the step-by-step working to derive the governing equation or Euler-Lagrange equation. The integrals represent potential or total energy expressions involving functions and their derivatives, and the method takes the first variation to determine the critical conditions for which the variation is zero.
