This document summarizes a study that extends the spline finite strip method to analyze the bending of thin parallelogram plates. The method discretizes the plate using spline functions and local interpolation polynomials from finite element analysis. This allows the method to retain the banded nature of the spline finite strip approach while requiring only small additional computing effort. The paper establishes the discretization error of the method theoretically for spline finite strip analysis of general cases. It then applies the technique to solve example problems of parallelogram plate bending.
