contents A fourth-order elliptic problem of Leray-Lions type is considered for combined nonlinearities and Sobolev-critical growth with Navier and Dirichlet boundary conditions. By combining variational methods and critical point theory, the existence and multiplicity of weak solutions are established in the setting of classical Sobolev spaces. Two distinct asymptotic regimes are considered for the perturbation term: sublinear and superlinear. In the sublinear case, the existence of infinitely many solutions is proved by using topological tools such as Krasnosel'skii's genus and Clark's deformation lemma. In the superlinear case, the existence of at least one nontrivial solution is obtained via the Mountain Pass Theorem. Furthermore, the applicability of the main results is illustrated in the context of Hamiltonian systems.
