We present a variational analysis for the semilinear equation of the vibrating plate $x_{t t}(t,y)+\Delta ^{2}x(t,y)+l(t,y,x(t,y))=0$ in a bounded domain and a free nonlinear boundary condition $\Delta x(t,y)=H_{x}(t,y,x(t,y))-Q_{x}(t,y,x(t,y))$. In this context new dual variational methods are developed. Applying a variational approach we discuss a stability of solutions with respect to initial conditions.
Keywords: Dual variational method, nonlinear force, free boundary conditions, nonlinerity on the boundary., semi-linear plate equation.
