Abstract
An iterative method is employed to obtain numerical solutions of a two-dimensional mixed boundary-value problem for rectangular elastic plates. The theory of plane stress is used. This problem is encountered when the edge of a uniformly heated plate is bonded to a rigid body and then allowed to cool. The numerical results are compared with two formal asymptotic expansions of the solution. They correspond to the limiting cases of a thin strip and a long strip. The development of boundary layers near the edges of the plate is observed. The numerically determined stresses achieve their largest values at the corner of the bonded edge.
