<p>The paper presents the temperature field effect on the dynamic stability problem of plates with imperfection. The main objective is to conduct numerical investigations which show the relations between the imperfection ratio and plate dynamic response in a thermal environment. The plate is composed of three layers: thin facings and a thicker core. The plate can be loaded mechanically and thermally or only thermally. The facings are mechanically compressed with the forces acting in a plane. The temperature field model is defined by the temperature difference, which occurs between the plate edges. Two plate models are examined as follows: built using the approximation methods – orthogonalization and finite differences – and composed of finite elements. The analytical and numerical solution procedure is the main one, which is the proposal to perform the problem analysis. The plate reaction is described by the obtained values of the critical temperature differences for plates loaded only thermally and by the critical mechanical loads and the corresponding temperature differences for plates loaded mechanically and subjected to the uncoupled temperature field. The effect of the plate imperfection ratio under time-dependent loads is shown by numerous observations and results, which are shown graphically. The importance of the imperfection ratio on the plate's dynamic stability response in complex loading conditions is studied.</p>
