%0 Journal Article %T On Local Existence and Blow-Up of Solutions for Nonlinear Wave Equations of Higher-Order Kirchhoff Type with Strong Dissipation %A Guoguang Lin %A Yunlong Gao %A Yuting Sun %J International Journal of Modern Nonlinear Theory and Application %P 11-25 %@ 2167-9487 %D 2017 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/ijmnta.2017.61002 %X In this paper, we study on the initial-boundary value problem for nonlinear wave equations of higher-order Kirchhoff type with Strong Dissipation: \"\". At first, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the local solution by the Banach contraction mapping principle. Then, by ˇ°Concavityˇ± method we establish three blow-up results for certain solutions in the case 1): \"\", in the case 2): \"\" and in the case 3): \"\". At last, we consider that the estimation of the upper bounds of the blow-up time \"\"is given for deferent initial energy. %K Nonlinear Higher-Order Kirchhoff Type Equation %K Strong Damping %K Local Solutions %K Blow-Up %K Initial Energy %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=74071
