The geometrically non-linear vibrations of plates under the combined effect of thermal fields and mechanical excitations are analyzed. With this purpose, an accurate model based on a p-version, hierarchical, first-order shear deformation finite element is employed. The constitutive material of the plates is linear elastic and isotropic. The equations of motion are solved in the time domain by an implicit time integration method. The temperature and the amplitude of the mechanical excitation are varied, and transitions from periodic to non-periodic motions are found.

The analysis of the dynamic buckling of a clamped finite imperfect viscously damped column lying on a quadratic-cubic elastic foundation using the methods of asymptotic and perturbation technique is presented. The proposed governing equation contains two small independent parameters (δ and ϵ) which are used in asymptotic expansions of the relevant variables. The results of the analysis show that the dynamic buckling load of column decreases with its imperfections as well as with the increase in damping. The results obtained are strictly asymptotic and therefore valid as the parameters δ and ϵ become increasingly small relative to unity.
