Abstract
A numerical method for clamped thin rectangular plates carrying a uniformly distributed load and the exact solution of the governing equations are given. The solution is presented in a simple form suitable for direct practical use. The method is a very simple and practical approach. The results are compared with those reported in the previous papers
