The aim of this paper is to investigate an ordinary fourth-order hemivariational inequality. By using non-smooth variational methods, infinitely many solutions satisfying this type of inequality, whenever the potential of the nonlinear term has a suitable growth condition or convenient oscillatory assumptions at zero or at infinity, are guaranteed. As a consequence, a multiplicity result for non-smooth fourth-order boundary value problems is pointed out.
Keywords: Fourth-order equations, variational-hemivariational inequalities., critical points.
