Abstract
The complex solution method of Okubo for the deflection of a thin circular aelotropic plate with simply supported edge and uniform lateral load was extended to an elliptic plate by Ohasi. In his work however several inconsistencies appear, of which at least one disqualifies a central part. From a revisit to the works of Okubo and Ohasi a new solution for the deflection of a thin elliptic aelotropic plate with simply supported edge and uniform lateral load emerged. The solution is a generalisation of Okubo’s solution and is valid for any angle between material and geometric principal axes. Previously known solutions, including those for circular plates, are reproduced as special cases of the new solution and results of numerical calculations in new situations appear reasonable.
