We investigate some nonlinear elliptic problems of the form $${\Delta }^{2}v+\sigma \left(x\right)v=h(x,v)\text{in}\Omega ,v=\Delta v=0\text{on}\partial \Omega ,\left(\mathrm{P}\right)$$ where $\Omega$ is a regular bounded domain in ${ℝ}^N$, $N\ge 2$, $\sigma \left(x\right)$ a positive function in $L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$, and the nonlinearity $h(x,t)$ is indefinite. We prove the existence of solutions to the problem (P) when the function $h(x,t)$ is asymptotically linear at infinity by using variational method but without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Also, we consider the case when the nonlinearities are superlinear and subcritical.
