SummaryA large deflection theory is established for the bending and stretching of aeolotropic plates with elastic moduli that vary in the x, y, z directions. The theory is formulated in terms of two simultaneous non-linear differential equations, with variable coefficients, for the transverse deflection w and an Airy stress function F. Small deflection heterogeneous plate theory and some other sub-classes of plate problems are formulated by specialising the general non-linear plate equations. Effects of initial irregularities and of a variable elastic foundation are considered.
