Abstract 
The governing equations for an elasto-plastic large deflection
analysis of pressure loaded sector plates. based on the
Ilyushin full-section yield criterion and the flow theory of
plasticity, are presented. An outline of the solution of these
equations using a finite difference implementation of the DR
algorithm is given. Numerical results are presented for
uniformly loaded slender and stocky sector plates with a 60 degree
sector angle. In particular. first yield data are presented as
well as the results of two parameter studies. The first study
shows the effects of flexural and in-plane edge conditions on
the deflections and stress resultants/couples at the centre of
the sector plate and the second contrasts the spread of
plasticity in slender sector plates with simply supported and
clamped in-plane fixed edges.
