ABSTRACT

The problem of plate bending on an isotropic homogeneous elastic foundation was considered in (Gorbunov-Posadov, 1940) and further developed. Most of the known solutions are applicable only for rigid plates.And very few, particularly those described in (Aleksandrov, Solodovnik, 1974) and (Bosakov, 2008), are applicable either for flexible or rigid plates. There is a number of recent investigations in this area (Silva et al., 2001; Kashtalyan, 2009).
