These assumptions enabled him to express the potential energy
of the bent plate in terms of the curvatures produced in its

The equations and conditions were then deduced
by the principle of virtual work, and applied to the problem of the
flexural vibrations of a circular plate.

This was the method employed in my paper, {Phil. Trans. A. 1888,) its
inexactness was pointed out by Mr Basset {Phil. Trans. A. 1890). If the general
equations of my paper be compared with those of any of the problems solved below
will be found that terms are omitted which ought to have been retained.
These
terms depend on the second approximations to the stresses considered in the last
article.
Lord Kayleigh has also pointed out that when extension of the middle-

surface takes place there does not exist a function depending on the deformation of
the middle- surface alone which represents the potential energy correct to terms in

The results only are stated and the verification is left to the reader. The first
two examples are taken from Lord Eayleigh's paper On the Bending and Vibrations
of Thin Elastic Shells especially of Cylindrical Form'. Proc. R. S. xlv. 1888. The
third is from Mr Basset's paper On the Extension and Flexure of Cylindrical and
Spherical Thin Elastic Shells'. Phil Trans. R. S. (A), 1890. Mr Basset makes the
strain only approximately non-extensional, the departure from a condition in which
no line on the middle-surface is altered in length depending on the fact that the
centre of gravity of a small element does not he on the middle-surface. It is
however unnecessary to take this into account.
