## Abstract

In this paper, the dynamic oscillation of a rectangular thin plate under parametric and external excitations is investigated and controlled. The motion of a rectangular thin plate is modeled by coupled second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The formulas of the thin plate are derived from the von Kármán equation and Galerkin's method. A control law based on negative acceleration feedback is proposed for the system. The multiple time scale perturbation technique is applied to solve the nonlinear differential equations and obtain approximate solutions up to the second-order approximations. One of the worst resonance case of the system is the simultaneous primary resonances, where $Ω1≅ω1 and Ω2≅ω2$. From the frequency response equations, the stability of the system is investigated according to the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. The effects of the different parameters are studied numerically. It is also shown that the system parameters have different effects on the nonlinear response of the thin plate. The simulation results are achieved using matlab 7.0 software. A comparison is made with the available published work.
