Abstract

According to the large amplitude equation of the circular plate on nonlinear elastic foundation, elastic resisting force has linear item, cubic nonlinear item and resisting bend elastic item. A nonlinear vibration equation is obtained with the method of Galerkin under the condition of fixed boundary. Floquet exponent at equilibrium point is obtained without external excitation. Its stability and condition of possible bifurcation is analysed. Possible chaotic vibration is analysed and studied with the method of Melnikov with external excitation. The critical curves of the chaotic region and phase figure under some foundation parameters are obtained with the method of digital artificial.
