Abstract
The bending of the thin elastic semicircular plates, because of its complicated boundary conditions, brings some difficulties, for us to obtain its solution. This paper applies, the reciprocal theorem to propose a general simple convenient method to obtain the transverse deflectional equations of the plates.
