Abstract

We discuss long-term dynamical behavior of the solutions for the nonautonomous suspension bridge-type equation in the strong Hilbert space , where the nonlinearity is translation compact and the time-dependent external forces only satisfy condition () instead of translation compact. The existence of strong solutions and strong uniform attractors is investigated using a new process scheme. Since the solutions of the nonautonomous suspension bridge-type equation have no higher regularity and the process associated with the solutions is not continuous in the strong Hilbert space, the results are new and appear to be optimal.
