A method is proposed for the solution of in-plane stresses and displacements in quadrilateral plates under thermal loads. The procedure employs eigenfunctions for angular regions together with a least squares technique. An electronic computer is a necessary adjunct to the proposed method of solution. Numerical results are given.
