Stabilization of von Kármán plate in the presence of thermal effects in a subsonic potential flow of gas

We discuss the problem of nonlinear oscillations of a clamped plate in the presence of thermal effects in a subsonic gas flow. The dynamics of the plate is described by von Kármán system in the presence of thermal effects, in which rotational inertia is accounted for. To describe influence of the gas flow we apply the linearized theory of potential flows. Our main result states that each weak solution of the problem considered tends to the set of the stationary points of the problem.  2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
