Abstract
By using complex variable methods, the boundary value problem for biharmonic functions arisen from the theory of clamped elastic thin plate is shown to be equivalent to the first fundamental problem in plane elasticity which, as well-known, may be easily solved by reduction to a Fredholm integral equation. The case of circular plate is illustrated in detail, the solution of which is obtained in closed form.
