The validity of the classical treatment of problems involving axisymmetric plates, partially constrained from deflection by the presence of a smooth, rigid, plane surface, is re-examined, and both the practical and conceptual advantages of carrying the analysis within the scope of the E. Reissner plate theory are illustrated by means of an example.
