Abstract

Complex variable methods are applied to derive exact solutions in closed forms for the small deflexions of uniformly loaded thin isotropic plates bounded by regular curvilinear polygonal contours having n sides. The supported boundary is either clamped or has equal boundary cross-couples. For rectilinear edges the latter conditions agree with those for a simply supported boundary. The plates taken in the z-plane are conformally mapped on the unit circle in the ζ-plane by the general mapping function
