✦ Synopsis

A theory" is presented for computing the finite deflections of thin cambered elastic plates subjected to simultaneous bending and twisting moments. The relations between deflections and applied moments are nonlinear and are characterized by instabilities which arise as a result of chordwise deformation. Experiments are described which corroborate the theoretical trends.
