Blow-up result for a plate equation with fractional damping and nonlinear source terms

In this work, we consider a plate equation with nonlinear source and partially hinged boundary conditions. Our goal is to show analytically that the solution blows up in finite time. The background of the problem comes from the modeling of the downward displacement of suspension bridge using a thin rectangular plate. The result in the article shows that in the present of fractional damping and a nonlinear source such as the earthquake shocks, the suspension bridge is bound to collapse in finite time.
