Uniform attractors for a nonautonomous extensible plate equation with a strong damping

In this paper, we study the long‐time dynamics of solutions to a nonlinear nonautonomous extensible plate equation with a strong damping. Under some suitable assumptions on the initial data, the nonlinear term and external force, we establish the existence of global solutions that generate a family of processes for the problem and obtain uniform attractors corresponding to strong and weak symbol spaces in a bounded domain Ω⊆Rn(n⩾1).
