Abstract
The existence of two correction coefficients traditionally introduced to account for the effect of the distribution of tangential stresses over the thickness of a plate is discussed. The virtual-work principle is used to generalize the expressions for the coefficients to the case of arbitrary loading. These expressions and hypotheses for displacements help to derive equations for orthotropic rectangular plates subject to tangential surface loads. These equations account for the effect of the distribution of tangential stresses over the thickness of the plate. Numerical examples are given. The results obtained are compared with those produced by other theories
