The known T. von Kármán equations serve as a mathematical model. This continuous system is reduced to a discrete one through the method of finite approximations of O(h4) order, which is solved further by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta technique. New scenarios of transition from harmonic to chaotic vibrations are reported. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/mpe/2006/085623/abs/
