Exponential energy decay of solutions for a system of viscoelastic wave equations of Kirchhoff type with strong damping

The initial boundary value problem for a system of viscoelastic wave equations of Kirchhoff type with strong damping is considered. We prove that, under suitable assumptions on relaxation functions and certain initial data, the decay rate of the solutions energy is exponential

Global nonexistence of solutions for the viscoelastic wave equation of Kirchhoff type with high energy

In this paper we consider the viscoelastic wave equation of Kirchhoff type: $$u_{tt}-M(\|\nabla u\|_{2}^{2})\Delta u+\int_{0}^{t}g(t-s)\Delta u(s){\rm d}s+u_{t}=|u|^{p-1}u$$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under some suitable assumptions on $g$ and the initial data, we established a global nonexistence result for certain solutions with arbitrarily high energy.Comment: 12 page

Dynamics of thermoelastic thin plates: A comparison of four theories

Four distinct theories describing the flexural motion of thermoelastic thin plates are compared. The theories are due to Chadwick, Lagnese and Lions, Simmonds, and Norris. Chadwick's theory requires a 3D spatial equation for the temperature but is considered the most accurate as the others are derivable from it by different approximations. Attention is given to the damping of flexural waves. Analytical and quantitative comparisons indicate that the Lagnese and Lions model with a 2D temperature equation captures the essential features of the thermoelastic damping, but contains systematic inaccuracies. These are attributable to the approximation for the first moment of the temperature used in deriving the Lagnese and Lions equation. Simmonds' model with an explicit formula for temperature in terms of plate deflection is the simplest of all but is accurate only at low frequency, where the damping is linearly proportional to the frequency. It is shown that the Norris model, which is almost as simple as Simmond's, is as accurate as the more precise but involved theory of Chadwick.Comment: 2 figures, 1 tabl

EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF SOLUTIONS FOR A VARIABLE-EXPONENT FOURTH-ORDER VISCOELASTIC EQUATION WITH NONLINEAR BOUNDARY FEEDBACK

In this paper we study a variable-exponent fourth-order viscoelastic equation of the form$$|u_{t}|^{\rho(x)}u_{tt}+\Delta[(a+b|\Delta u|^{m(x)-2})\Delta u]-\int_{0}^{t}g(t-s)\Delta^{2}u(s)ds=|u|^{p(x)-2}u,$$in a bounded domain of $R^{n}$. Under suitable conditions on variable exponents and initial data, we prove that the solutions will grow up as an exponential function with positive initial energy level. Our result improves and extends many earlier results in the literature such as the on by Mahdi and Hakem (Ser. Math. Inform. 2020, https://doi.org/10.22190/FUMI2003647M)

On a Nonlinear Degenerate Evolution Equation with Nonlinear Boundary Damping

This paper deals essentially with a nonlinear degenerate evolution equation of the form Ku″-Δu+∑j=1nbj∂u′/∂xj+uσu=0 supplemented with nonlinear boundary conditions of Neumann type given by ∂u/∂ν+h·, u′=0. Under suitable conditions the existence and uniqueness of solutions are shown and that the boundary damping produces a uniform global stability of the corresponding solutions

In this work we study the global solution, uniqueness and asymptotic behaviour of the nonlinear equation utt − ∆pu − ∆put =|u|r−1u where ∆pu is the nonlinear p-Laplacian operator, 2 ≤ p  < ∞. The global solutions are constructed by means of the Faedo-Galerkin approximations and the asymptotic behavior is obtained by Nakao method.
