In this paper, we show the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the following fourthorder Kirchhoff type elliptic equationsis of sublinear growth and h(x, u) satisfies some general 3-superlinear growth conditions at infinity. We show the existence of at least one solution for above equations for λ = 0. For λ > 0 small enough, we obtain at least two nontrivial solutions. Furthermore, if f (x, u) is odd in u, we show that above equations possess infinitely many solutions for all λ ≥ 0. Our theorems generalize some known results in the literatures even for λ = 0 and our proof is based on the variational methods.
