Structurally damped elastic waves in 2D

The goal of the paper is to study structurally damped elastic waves in 2D. A suitable diagonalization procedure allows to derive WKB representations for solutions to the Cauchy problems. As consequences, we obtain results on energy decay with and without additional regularity for the data, Gevrey smoothing, and propagation of singularities for the visco‐elastic damped elastic wave model.

Semilinear wave models with friction and viscoelastic damping

In this paper, we study the global (in time) existence of small data solutions to the Cauchy problem for the semilinear wave equation with friction, viscoelastic damping, and a power nonlinearity. We are interested in the connection between regularity assumptions for the data and the admissible range of exponents p in the power nonlinearity.     

Global existence of solutions for 2‐D semilinear wave equations with dissipation localized near infinity in an exterior domain

We shall derive some global existence results to semilinear wave equations with a damping coefficient localized near infinity for very special initial data in H×L². This problem is dealt with in the two‐dimensional exterior domain with a star‐shaped complement. In our result, a power p on the non‐linear term |u|^p is strictly larger than the two‐dimensional Fujita‐exponent. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
