Abstract
The forced nonlinear dynamics of a pre-buckled thermally loaded annular plate are investigated. The plate is modeled using the von Ka´rma´n plate theory and the heat equation. The heat, which is generated by the difference between the uniformly distributed temperatures at the inner and outer boundaries, is assumed to symmetrically flow in the radial direction. The amount of heat affects the natural frequencies, which may give rise to different internal resonance conditions. The method of multiple scales is used to examine the system axisymmetric responses when it is driven by an external multi-frequency excitation. The plate responses could be very complex exhibiting Hopf and cyclic-fold bifurcations, quasi-periodicity, chaos, and multiplicity of attractors.
