Bending of simply supported rectangular plates with clamped portions along arbitrary sections of the edges

Conclusion A method of handling such a rectangular plate having special mixed boundary conditions was presented and also its reliability was investigated. The labour required for computation amounts to a substantial quantity and thus an approximate method seems to be desirable. However, such a difficulty could be solved through the use of a high speed digital computer at present. Actually, the author has taken advantage of such a devise.In conclusion, the assistance of Mr. S. Hatano and Mr. H. Okamura on numerical computation and experiments is gratefully acknowledged.
