ABSTRACT
Within the restrictions of the classical small bending theory of thin plates, exact expressions are obtained in series form for the deflection at any point of a thin isotropic circular plate uniformly loaded over a concentric ellipse and supported at the four vertices of a concentric rhombus whose diagonals coincide with the axes of the ellipse. Formulae for the moments and shears are given and numerical results are presented in tabular and grapnical forms.
