Abstract

In this paper complex variable methods are used to derive exact solutions in closed forms for the small deflexions of certain thin elastic plates due to transverse concentrated forces or couples applied at arbitrary or specified points. The isotropic plates considered are bounded by curvilinear edges of certain types along which the plates are rigidly clamped. Plates bounded by quartic curves having the forms of the inverses of an ellipse with respect to its centre or its focus are included as special cases.
