Abstract

The existence of solutions is proved for a full system of dynamic von Kármán equations expressing vibrations of geometrically nonlinear viscoelastic plate, the viscosity of which has the character of a short memory. The system models the behaviour of a bridge. The in-plane acceleration terms are taken into account. The boundary contact conditions for plane displacements and possibly the contact with the rigid support are considered.
