Abstract
An approximate rigid, perfectly plastic analysis which retains the influence of finite deflections is presented herein for a uniformly loaded, fully clamped rectangular plate. This theoretical procedure provides reasonable engineering estimates of the permanent deflections of rectangular plates according to the recent experiments of Hooke and Rawlings on plates with aspect ratios in the range 1/3 ≤ β ≤ 1. The approximate method also predicts values which agree fairly well with the tests of Young on long rectangular plates β = 1/3), and for large permanent deflections gives similar values to the analysis by Greenspon when β = 1.Keywords
