A semi‐analytical analysis of flexible plates with curved boundaries is presented. Through a co‐ordinate transformation, the original spatial domain of the plate is mapped onto a rectangular region, where the isoparametric strip distributed transfer functions of the plate are introduced. The transfer function formulation yields closed‐form predictions of the displacement, stresses and eigensolutions of the plate. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach is demonstrated in numerical examples. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
