A previous paper was concerned with the uniform finite bending of a flat rectangular elastic plate about an axis parallel to one of its pairs of opposite edges. Expressions were obtained for the shape assumed by sections of the plate containing the axis of curvature, and the applied bending moment. In the present paper the work is extended to deal with a plate having shallow regular corrugations of arbitrary shape running along it at right angles to the axis of curvature. Such a plate may be of interest as it exhibits the type of instability characteristic of curved thin-walled members. Its solution can be derived quickly from the previous work.
