This paper presents the derivation of a new boundary element formulation for plate
bending problems. The Reissner’s plate bending theory is employed. Unlike the conventional
direct or indirect formulations, the proposed integral equation is based on minimizing the
relevant energy functional. In doing so, variational methods are used. A collocation based
series, similar to the one used in the indirect discrete boundary element method, is used to
remove domain integrals. Hence, a fully boundary integral equation is formulated. The main
advantage of the proposed formulation is production of a symmetric stiffness matrix similar to
that obtained in the finite element method. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate
the accuracy and the validity of the proposed formulation
