A direct boundary element method (BEM) is developed for the determination of the time-dependent inelastic deflection of plates of arbitrary planform and under arbitrary boundary conditions to general lateral loading history. The governing differential equation is the nonhomogeneous biharmonic equation for the rate of small transverse deflection. The boundary integral formulation is derived by using a combination of the BEM and finite element methodology. The plate material is modelled as elastic-viscoplastic. Numerical examples for sample problems are presented to illustrate the method and to demonstrate its merits
