A direct boundary element method is developed for the dynamic analysis of thin inelastic flexural plates of arbitrary planform and boundary conditions. It employs the static fundamental solution of the associated elastic problem and involves not only boundary integrals but domain integrals as well. Thus boundary as well as interior elements are employed in the numerical solution. Time integration is accomplished by the explicit algorithm of the central difference predictor method. A viscoplastic constitutive theory with state variables is employed to model the material behaviour. Numerical results are also presented to illustrate quantitatively the proposed method of solution.
