Decay rates for the energy of a singular nonlocal viscoelastic system

This work deals with decay rates for the energy of an initial boundary value problem with a nonlocal boundary condition for a system of nonlinear singular viscoelastic equations. We prove the decay rates for the energy of a singular one‐dimensional viscoelastic system with a nonlinear source term and nonlocal boundary condition of relaxation kernels described by the inequality $g_i^{\prime }\left(t\right)\le ?H\left(g_i\left(t\right)\right),\left(i=1,2\right)$ for all t ≥ 0, with H convex.     

General decay for a class of viscoelastic problem with not necessarily decreasing kernel

In this paper, a problem which arises in a class of viscoelasticity is considered. We obtain the decay rate of the energy, for certain class of relaxation functions not necessarily exponentially or polynomially decaying to zero.     

Global existence and decay of solutions of a singular nonlocal viscoelastic system with a nonlinear source term,nonlocal boundary condition,and localized damping term

The paper deals with the existence of a global solution of a singular one-dimensional viscoelastic system with a nonlinear source term, nonlocal boundary condition, and localized frictional damping a(x)u_t using the potential well theory. Furthermore, the general decay result is proved. We construct a suitable Lyapunov functional and make use of the perturbed energy method.     

Global existence and uniform stability of solutions for a quasilinear viscoelastic problem

In this paper the nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation in canonical form with Dirichlet boundary condition is considered. By introducing a new functional and using the potential well method, we show that the damping induced by the viscoelastic term is enough to ensure global existence and uniform decay of solutions provided that the initial data are in some stable set.

General decay of nonlinear viscoelastic Kirchhoff equation with Balakrishnan‐Taylor damping and logarithmic nonlinearity

This work deals with the study of a new class of nonlinear viscoelastic Kirchhoff equation with Balakrishnan‐Taylor damping and logarithmic nonlinearity. A decay result of the energy of solutions for the problem without imposing the usual relation between a certain relaxation function and its derivative is established. This result generalizes earlier ones to an arbitrary rate of decay, which is not necessarily of exponential or polynomial decay.     

A note on the polynomial decay of a weakly dissipative viscoelastic system

In this note we study an abstract class of weakly dissipative second-order systems with finite memory. We establish the polynomial decay of Rivera, Naso and Vegni for the solution of the system under a very weak condition on the relaxation function.     

General decay of solutions to a viscoelastic wave equation with linear damping,nonlinear damping and source term

ABSTRACT

This paper is concerned with the decay property of a nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation with linear damping, nonlinear damping and source term. Under weaker assumption on the relaxation function, we establish a general decay result, which extends the result obtained in Messaoudi [Exponential decay of solutions of a nonlinearly damped wave equation. Nodea-Nonlinear Differ Equat Appl. 2005;12:391–399].     

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.     

Exponential decay for a quasilinear viscoelastic equation

We consider the following nonlinear viscoelastic equation together with Dirichlet-boundary conditions, in a bounded domain Ω and ρ > 0. We prove an exponential decay result for a class of relaxation functions. Our result is established without imposing the usual relation between g and its derivative (© 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Exponential decay of non‐linear wave equation with a viscoelastic boundary condition

We study in this paper the global existence and exponential decay of solutions of the non‐linear unidimensional wave equation with a viscoelastic boundary condition. We prove that the dissipation induced by the memory effect is strong enough to secure global estimates, which allow us to show existence of global smooth solution for small initial data. We also prove that the solution decays exponentially provided the resolvent kernel of the relaxation function, k decays exponentially. When k decays polynomially, the solution decays polynomially and with the same rate. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new general decay for a transmission problem of viscoelastic Timoshenko systems

In this paper, we investigate the long-time behavior for a transmission problem of viscoelastic Timoshenko systems with different speeds of wave propagation. By constructing a new Lyapunov functional and combining the technique of perturbation energy with some precise estimates for multipliers, we establish a general uniform decay estimates for the energy.     

General energy decay estimates of Timoshenko systems with frictional versus viscoelastic damping

In this paper we consider the following Timoshenko system: with Dirichlet boundary conditions and initial data where a, b, g and h are specific functions and ρ₁, ρ₂, k₁, k₂ and L are given positive constants. We establish a general stability estimate using the multiplier method and some properties of convex functions. Without imposing any growth condition on h at the origin, we show that the energy of the system is bounded above by a quantity, depending on g and h, which tends to zero as time goes to infinity. Our estimate allows us to consider a large class of functions h with general growth at the origin. We use some examples (known in the case of wave equations and Maxwell system) to show how to derive from our general estimate the polynomial, exponential or logarithmic decay. The results of this paper improve and generalize some existing results in the literature and generate some interesting open problems. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On a singular nonlocal time fractional order mixed problem with a memory term

We use the priori estimate method to prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution as well as its dependence on the given data of a singular time fractional mixed problem having a memory term. The considered fractional equation is associated with a nonlocal condition of integral type and a Neuman condition. Our results develop and show the efficiency and effectiveness of the energy inequalities method for the time fractional order differential equations with a nonlocal condition.     

Optimal decay rates for the viscoelastic wave equation

In this paper, we consider a viscoelastic equation with minimal conditions on the relaxation function g, namely, , where H is an increasing and convex function near the origin and ξ is a nonincreasing function. With only these very general assumptions on the behavior of gat infinity, we establish optimal explicit and general energy decay results from which we can recover the optimal exponential and polynomial rates when H(s)=s^p and p covers the full admissible range [1,2). We get the best decay rates expected under this level of generality, and our new results substantially improve several earlier related results in the literature.

General decay for a quasilinear system of viscoelastic equations with nonlinear damping

In this paper, we consider a system of coupled quasilinear viscoelastic equations with nonlinear damping. We use the perturbed energy method to show the general decay rate estimates of energy of solutions, which extends some existing results concerning a general decay for a single equation to the case of system, and a nonlinear system of viscoelastic wave equations to a quasilinear system.     

Stabilization of a viscoelastic Timoshenko beam

A viscoelastic Timoshenko beam is investigated. We prove an exponential decay of solutions for a large class of kernels with weaker conditions than the existing ones in the literature. This will allow the use of other types of viscoelastic material for Timoshenko type beams than the usually used ones.     

Energy decay in thermoelasticity with viscoelastic damping of general type

In this paper we consider an n-dimensional thermoelastic system with viscoelastic damping. We establish an explicit and general decay rate result without imposing restrictive assumptions on the behavior of the relaxation function at infinity. Our result allows a larger class of relaxation functions and generalizes previous results existing in the literature.     

Blow-up of solutions for a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear damping

The initial boundary value problem for a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear damping in a bounded domain is considered. By modifying the method, which is put forward by Li, Tasi and Vitillaro, we sententiously proved that, under certain conditions, any solution blows up in finite time. The estimates of the life-span of solutions are also given. We generalize some earlier results concerning this equation.      

A general decay result of a viscoelastic equation with infinite history and nonlinear damping

In this paper, we consider a viscoelastic equation with a nonlinear frictional damping and in the presence of an infinite-memory term. We prove an explicit and general decay result using some properties of the convex functions. Our approach allows a wider class of kernels, from which those of exponential decay type are only special cases.
