Abstract
We investigate a boundary value problem for a nonlinear evolution biharmonic operator motivated by flexion of fully clamped beam in two different physical situations. In the first, the supports of the ends of the beam are fixed and in the second one, the supports of the ends of the beam have small displacements.
