Abstract
The skew network difference equations for the differential equation of the deflection surface of the orthotropic parallelogram plate (κ=H/(Bx⋅By)1/2<1) supported simply at the opposite two skew sides and supported by flexible girders at the other two sides were induced for the general interior point, interior point near simple support, interior point near top edge, general edge point, interior point and edge point near sharp and blunt corner. As an example of the use of the above difference equations, the influence coefficients of the deflection and bending moment of the orthotropic parallelogram plate (Bx/By=36, a/b=1, κ=1 and 0) with various angle of skew were calculated and the influence of the angle of skew on the deflection and bending moment was researched.
