Abstract: This paper presents a new method exactly to solve the bending of elastic thinplates with arbitrary shape. First the analytic solution of differential equation ofelastic thin plate is derived in polar coordinate, then the analytic solution is substituted into the boundary conditions of elastic thin plate with arbitrary shape. The boundaryequations are expanded along the boundary by the use of Fourier series, all unknown coefficients can be decided. The results are exact.
