Abstract
In this paper the equilibrium configuration of a thin rectangular plate, supported on an elastic foundation that reacts in compression only, is studied. It is assumed that the foundation is described by the Winkler model in the contact region. The plate is supposed to be weightless and subjected to a concentrated load in its midpoint. The shape of the free boundary, where the plate loses contact with the foundation, is determined.Keywords
