Abstract
The aim of this paper is the analysis of isotropic rectangular thin plates simply supported or clamped along two opposite edges and subjected to a concentrated bending moment perpendicular to these edges, whereby the other edges have arbitrary support conditions. The standard approach to this problem is to replace the bending moment with a couple of forces infinitely close and to use the known expressions of efforts and deformations for the plate subjected to concentrated forces; the results are then related to the first derivatives of those efforts and deformations with respect to the position of application of the load. In this study, the concentrated moment was expanded into a Fourier series, leading to a distributed external bending moment, and the boundary conditions and continuity equations were set. Plates of infinite length were also analyzed and the results obtained were identical to those in the literature.
