An approximate analysis of the large deflection elastic behaviour of clamped, uniformly loaded, rectangular plates is carried out using a perturbation method. The solutions obtained are presented in a general form which allows the behaviour of a plate having any particular value of aspect ratio to be predicted. The predictions of the present solutions are compared with those of existing solutions where these are available.
