A simple model of non-linear and chaotic dynamic behaviour of buckled plates is presented. Special procedures are described for setting up the tests of flat and buckled plates with vibrations of large amplitude. The difficulties of measuring chaotic motion include the problems in designing the clamping fixtures, controlling the excitation and analysing the results. Case studies of tests with shaker direct attachment, base excitation, and acoustic excitation are used to illustrate the procedures and ways to solve the various problems. The important non-linear dynamic characteristics of curved plates are found to be the transition from softening spring effects to hardening spring effects through the intermediate region of chaotic motion. The chaotic motion is a large amplitude dynamic snap-through motion between the two static buckled positions of the plate.
