This paper presents the inextensional theory for thin flat plates. The theory is applicable to cantilever and other plates subjected to a normal loading which is resisted primarily by the flexural rigidity of the plate rather than by the extensional rigidity. The middle surface of the plate is assumed to be inextensional so that the mode of deformation is a developable surface.
