This work deals with non-linear geometrical plates in the context of von Kármán theory. The formulation is written in a way to require only boundary in-plane displacement and deflection integral equation for boundary collocations. At internal points only out of plane rotation, curvature and in-plane internal force representations are used. The non-linear system of algebraic equations to be solved is reduced to internal point collocation relations. The solution is solved by using a Newton scheme
