Abstract

This paper discusses the elastic equilibrium problems of rectangular thin plates of varying thickness and simply supported on all four sides by linear and nonlinear theory. using the Navier method to seek an approach to the problem, and illustrates the solution with two examples. In conclusion, mention in made of scope of application and the convergency of the solution.
