Reply to comments by Robert P. Comer [Letter to the editor]

Abstract

In his letter, Comer (1986) addresses three different points which bear on three related publications on load-induced flexure of elastic plates (Comer 1983; Ward 1984; Wolf 1985a). As his first point is primarily an annotation to his own publication on the subject (Comer 1983), I will restrict my reply to the remaining two points.
