This document discusses the double Fourier expansion used to represent the deflection of a rectangular plate subjected to a transverse load. It shows that the coefficients of the double Fourier expansion are integrals of the load over the plate area. It then derives an equation relating the Fourier coefficients to the load and plate properties by substituting the Fourier expansion into the plate's governing differential equation. Finally, it states that the Fourier series solution for deflection converges for all values of x and y.

Since the representation of the deection (3.15a) satises the boundary conditions (3.14), then the coefcients wmn must satisfy Eq. (2.24). Substitution of Eqs (3.15) into Eq. (2.24) results in the following equation:

 where pmn is given by Eq. (3.17). It can be shown, by noting that sin mx=aj 1 and jsin ny=bj 1 for every x and y and for every m and n, that the series (3.19) is convergent. Substituting wx; y into the Eqs (2.13) and (2.27), we can nd the bending moments and the shear forces in the plate, and then using the expressions (2.15), determine the stress components. For the moments in the plate, for instance, we obtain the following:
