Small-deflection plate theory and superposition principle, with consideration of temperature variation that is perpendicular to the surface, reveal that a rectangular thin plate (RTP) with one edge clamped, two edges simply supported, and one edge free under temperature disparity can be regarded as a superposition of an RTP with three simply supported edges and one free edge under temperature disparity and an RTP with three simply supported edges and one free edge under bending moment on one edge. First, by supposing the deflection function that has undetermined parameters at the free edge and by adopting the Levy method, the closed solution for an RTP with three simply supported edges and one free edge is obtained. Second, the closed solution for an RTP with three simply supported edges and one free edge is obtained under temperature disparity. Third, with the use of the solution for an RTP with four simply supported edges under bending moment on one edge, the solution for an RTP with three simply supported edges and one free edge under bending moment on one edge is obtained. Finally, the deflection and bending analytical solution for an RTP with one edge clamped, two edges simply supported, and one edge free under temperature disparity is obtained by adopting the superposition principle. The calculation coefficient table for a concrete RTP with one edge clamped, two edges simply supported, and one edge free under temperature disparity is established by using MATLAB. Thus, a theoretical calculation based on a concrete RTP with one edge clamped, two edges simply supported, and one edge free under temperature disparity in an engineering structure is provided for engineering design.
