The direct boundary element method with discretizations to the plate boundary and interface contact area is developed for the unilateral and frictionless contact analysis of a thin elastic plate and an elastic half-space in this paper. The method is attractive from a practical viewpoint since the plate geometry and loading can be generally defined. 20 refs.
