Zusammenfassung

Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der allgemeinen Behandlung antiklastischer Durchbiegungsprobleme. Von Kármáns Gleichung für grosse Durchbiegungen und antiklastische Deformation wurden mit Hilfe der Frobeniusschen Methode gelöst. Für Platten, deren Dicke proportional einer beliebigen Potenz des Abstandes vom Plattenrand ist, wurden Lösungen in Form allgemeiner hypergeometrischer Funktionen ausgearbeitet. Numerische Resultate für antiklastische Deformation werden für verschiedene Plattendicken präsentiert.
