Abstract
A system of equations of the Reissner plate bending theory is formulated in terms of stress functions. An estimate of the elastic energy is deduced from the variational principle for the stress functions. By using this estimate it is proved that the solution of the system of Reissner equations tends to the solution of the Kirchhoff equation in terms of the energy norm as the plate thickness diminishes.
