The technical theory of bending of circular plates under axisymmetric lateral loads is formulated in terms of Hart's state-variable equations. Then the method is applied to plates with simply supported and clamped edges through a standard algorithm. All the analytical results obtained compare qualitatively with those reported in the literature. The influence of the state variable called ''hardness'' is clearly demonstrated. Thus the analysis and the results provide a basis for acceptance of the model applied to structural components in a multiaxial state of stress.
