Abstract
The bending of a thick rectangular plate with all the edges completely clamped is analyzed by the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. A partially distributed uniform load over the top face is dealt within the analysis. The boundary conditions of the completely clamped edges are prescribed by three-dimensional, exact conditions that three displacement components vanish at the faces. The stress distributions at the edges are minutely examined by making the best use of advantages of the exact analysis. The stress distributions for the case of a fully distributed uniform load are compared with those obtained by Reissner's theory. The values of deflections and internal forces for various thickness-length ratios are also presented.
