heal.abstract	Symbolically derived closed-form solutions for the integration constants in series solutions for rectangular orthotropic plates under in-plane boundary shear are derived, enabling the exact stress distribution for such problems to be readily obtained. The ensuing expressions complement an earlier derivation for in-plane normal loadings along longitudinal boundaries, so that totally arbitrary stresses on these boundaries can now be studied. Simple formulae for the longitudinal stress distribution are listed, and these provide the basis for a subsequent parametric investigation of shear lag and effective breadths in wide orthotropic flanges.
