We consider a singular integral operator as a natural generalization to the biharmonic operator that arises in thin plate theory. The operator is built in the nonlocal calculus framework defined in (Math Models Methods Appl Sci 23(03):493–540, 2013) and connects with the recent theory of peridynamics. This framework enables us to consider non-smooth approximations to fourth-order elliptic boundary-value problems. For these systems we introduce nonlocal formulations of the clamped and hinged boundary conditions that are well-defined even for irregular domains. We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to these nonlocal problems and demonstrate their L2-strong convergence to functions in W2,2 as the nonlocal interaction horizon goes to zero. For regular domains we identify these limits as the weak solutions of the corresponding classical elliptic boundary-value problems. As a part of our proof we also establish that the nonlocal Laplacian of a smooth function is Lipschitz continuous.
