Abstract: A finite difference method at arbitrary meshes for the bending of plates with variable thickness is presented in this paper.The method is completely general with respect to various boundary conditions, load cases and shapes of plates.This difference scheme is simple and the numerical results agree well with those obtained by other methods.

Key words: plate, bending, finite difference method
