    Long-Time Behavior of Quasilinear Thermoelastic Kirchhoff-Love Plates with Second Sound

    We consider an initial-boundary-value problem for a thermoelastic Kirchhoff & Love plate, thermally insulated and simply supported on the boundary, incorporating rotational inertia and a quasilinear hypoelastic response, while the heat effects are modeled using the hyperbolic Maxwell-Cattaneo-Vernotte law giving rise to a 'second sound' effect. We study the local well-posedness of the resulting quasilinear mixed-order hyperbolic system in a suitable solution class of smooth functions mapping into Sobolev HkH^{k}-spaces. Exploiting the sole source of energy dissipation entering the system through the hyperbolic heat flux moment, provided the initial data are small in a lower topology (basic energy level corresponding to weak solutions), we prove a nonlinear stabilizability estimate furnishing global existence & uniqueness and exponential decay of classical solutions.Comment: 46 page

    Higher order evolution inequalities involving Leray-Hardy potential singular on the boundary

    Get PDF
    We consider a higher order (in time) evolution inequality posed in the half ball, under Dirichlet type boundary conditions. The involved elliptic operator is the sum of a Laplace differential operator and a Leray-Hardy potential with a singularity located at the boundary. Using a unified approach, we establish a sharp nonexistence result for the evolution inequalities and hence for the corresponding elliptic inequalities. We also investigate the influence of a nonlinear memory term on the existence of solutions to the Dirichlet problem, without imposing any restrictions on the sign of solutions
