Abstract.
We consider here the Cauchy problem for the full system of dynamic Von Kármán equations, which is a model for the vibrations of a nonlinear elastic plate. We prove global existence and uniqueness of finite energy solutions in the case of an infinite plate. We show then that our methods and results still hold for a rectangular plate which is simply supported or clamped at the boundary. Moreover we obtain continuous dependence on the initial data.
