Abstract
This paper points out that on certain condition the reciprocal theorem is equivalent to the superposition principle of displacements. On the basis of [6], applications of the reciprocal theorem are further extended; a convenient, general and new method for solving the equations of deflection surface of the rectangular plates and the straight beams with various edge conditions under various loads is presented.
