The problem studied in the paper enters the large field of the elastic bending of a plate with free edges, submitted to vertical forces, under Kirchhoff's hypothesis. The problem was considered by many authors in the case of a smooth boundary. The author generalises the study to the case of a polygonal boundary adjusting the mathematical method used there, to the analysed case. He obtains a new set of boundary integral equations to solve this problem, which is formulated in variational and direct form. The author gains many valuable results, such as an integral representation of the solution, its existence and unicity, its behaviour at the corners of the boundary, and many others. With remarkable care the author compares his results with those obtained by other authors in many quoted papers. The bibliographical list is very comprehensive (about 40 items). The paper ends with two applications of the obtained results to the biharmonic boundary value problem for a square plate in interior and exterior domains.
