Abstract

In this work we study the von Karman system for a thin circular elastic plate fixed to the elastic base and subjected to the compressing force along its boundary. The system is composed of two fourth-order nonlinear partial differential equations that give a valid mathematical description of the buckling of the plate. We intend to demonstrate the applicability of nonlinear functional analysis in the study of this problem. We describe the solution set of the von Karman equations in a small neighbourhood of a simple bifurcation point.
