Abstract From the point of view of dynamics, the phenomenon of mode jumping in the imperfect pitchfork problem is discussed. The dynamical mechanism of model jumping of structures, such as plate and shell, that is brought about by the extremum instability, is explained. Finally, we give numerical simulation to show the validity of our results.
