“…In general, most of the current studies of subsonic plates are mainly about two interesting aspects: one is the type of instability and the other is the post-instability dynamics. Many studies are reported in the literature about the instability of subsonic plates, and results interestingly show that the type of instability is closely bound up with the edge conditions of the plates, that is, a plate with its both ends fixed (simply supported or clamped) undergoes divergence instability [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], whereas a cantilevered plate free at its trailing end loses its stability by flutter [11,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. As for the post-instability dynamics of subsonic plates, relevant researches generally take account of the effect of nonlinearity caused by large-amplitude vibrations [12][13][14][16][17][18][19] or motion-limiting constraints [15,[20][21][22][23].…”
