On the existence,uniqueness and stability of solutions for semi-linear generalized elasticity equation with general damping term

In this paper, we consider a semi-linear generalized hyperbolic boundary value problem associated to the linear elastic equations with general damping term and nonlinearities of variable exponent type. Under suitable conditions, local and global existence theorems are proved. The uniqueness of the solution have been gotten by eliminating some hypotheses that have been imposed by other authors for different particular problems. We show that any solution with nontrivial initial datum becomes stable.     

Global Solvability in Thermoelasticity with Second Sound on the Semi-axis

In this paper, we consider initial boundary value problem for the equations of one-dimensional nonlinear thermoelasticity with second sound in R^+. First, we derive decay rates for linear systems which, in fact, is a hyperbolic systems with a damping term. Then, using this linear decay rates, we get L^1 and L^∞ decay rates for nonlinear systems. Finally, combining with L^2 estimates and a local existence theorem, we prove a global existence and uniqueness theorem for small smooth data.     

General decay and blowup of solutions for coupled viscoelastic equation of Kirchhoff type with degenerate damping terms

In this work, we consider a nonlinear system of viscoelastic equations of Kirchhoff type with degenerate damping and source terms in a bounded domain. Under suitable assumptions on the initial data, the relaxation functions g_i(i = 1,2) and degenerate damping terms, we obtain global existence of solutions. Then, we prove the general decay result. Finally, we prove the finite time blow‐up result of solutions with negative initial energy. This work generalizes and improves earlier results in the literature.     

Uniform boundary stabilization of a wave equation with nonlinear acoustic boundary conditions and nonlinear boundary damping

We consider a wave equation with nonlinear acoustic boundary conditions. This is a nonlinearly coupled system of hyperbolic equations modeling an acoustic/structure interaction, with an additional boundary damping term to induce both existence of solutions as well as stability. Using the methods of Lasiecka and Tataru for a wave equation with nonlinear boundary damping, we demonstrate well-posedness and uniform decay rates for solutions in the finite energy space, with the results depending on the relationship between (i) the mass of the structure, (ii) the nonlinear coupling term, and (iii) the size of the nonlinear damping. We also show that solutions (in the linear case) depend continuously on the mass of the structure as it tends to zero, which provides rigorous justification for studying the case where the mass is equal to zero.     

Plate models with state-dependent damping coefficient and their quasi-static limits

We study long-time dynamics of a class of plate models with a state-dependent damping coefficient and their quasi-static limits. We first present the problem in abstract form and then prove the existence of finite-dimensional global attractors and their upper semicontinuity in the quasi-static limit, i.e., in the case when the mass density of plate tends to zero. Our proofs involve a recently developed method based on “compensated” compactness and quasi-stability estimates. As an application we consider the nonlinear Kirchhoff, von Karman and Berger plate models with different types of boundary conditions and damping coefficients. Our results can be also applied to the nonlinear wave equations in an arbitrary dimension.     

Global existence and nonexistence for a nonlinear wave equation with damping and source terms

In this paper we consider a nonlinear wave equation with damping and source term on the whole space. For linear damping case, we show that the solution blows up in finite time even for vanishing initial energy. The criteria to guarantee blowup of solutions with positive initial energy are established both for linear and nonlinear damping cases. Global existence and large time behavior also are discussed in this work. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Blow-up result and energy decay rates for binary mixtures of solids with nonlinear damping and source terms

In this paper we study the long-time behavior of binary mixture problem of solids, focusing on the interplay between nonlinear damping and source terms. By employing nonlinear semigroups and the theory of monotone operators, we obtain several results on the existence of local and global weak solutions, and uniqueness of weak solutions. Moreover, we prove that every weak solution to our system blows up in finite time, provided the initial energy is negative and the sources are more dominant than the damping in the system. Additional results are obtained via careful analysis involving the Nehari Manifold. Specifically, we prove the existence of a unique global weak solution with initial data coming from the “good” part of the potential well. For such a global solution, we prove that the total energy of the system decays exponentially or algebraically, depending on the behavior of the dissipation in the system near the origin.

In this article, we consider the global existence and decay rates of solutions for the transmission problem of Kirchhoff type wave equations consisting of two physically different types of materials, one component being a Kirchhoff type wave equation with time dependent localized dissipation which is effective only on a neighborhood of certain part of boundary, while the other being a Kirchhoff type viscoelastic wave equation with nonlinear memory.     

Existence of weak solutions for the generalized Navier–Stokes equations with damping

In this work we consider the generalized Navier–Stokes equations with the presence of a damping term in the momentum equation. The problem studied here derives from the set of equations which govern isothermal flows of incompressible and homogeneous non-Newtonian fluids. For the generalized Navier–Stokes problem with damping, we prove the existence of weak solutions by using regularization techniques, the theory of monotone operators and compactness arguments together with the local decomposition of the pressure and the Lipschitz-truncation method. The existence result proved here holds for any ${q > \frac{2N}{N+2}}$ and any σ > 1, where q is the exponent of the diffusion term and σ is the exponent which characterizes the damping term.     

On decay and blow-up of solutions for a system of nonlinear wave equations

The initial boundary value problem for a system of viscoelastic wave equations of Kirchhoff type with the nonlinear damping and the source terms in a bounded domain is considered. We prove that, under suitable conditions on the nonlinearity of the damping and the source terms and certain initial data in the stable set and for a wider class of relaxation functions, the decay estimates of the energy function is exponential or polynomial depending on the exponents of the damping terms in both equations by using Nakao’s method. Conversely, for certain initial data in the unstable set, we obtain the blow-up of solutions in finite time when the initial energy is nonnegative. This improves earlier results in the literature.     

Porous elastic system with nonlinear damping and sources terms

We study the long-time behavior of porous-elastic system, focusing on the interplay between nonlinear damping and source terms. The sources may represent restoring forces, but may also be focusing thus potentially amplifying the total energy which is the primary scenario of interest. By employing nonlinear semigroups and the theory of monotone operators, we obtain several results on the existence of local and global weak solutions, and uniqueness of weak solutions. Moreover, we prove that such unique solutions depend continuously on the initial data. Under some restrictions on the parameters, we also prove that every weak solution to our system blows up in finite time, provided the initial energy is negative and the sources are more dominant than the damping in the system. Additional results are obtained via careful analysis involving the Nehari Manifold. Specifically, we prove the existence of a unique global weak solution with initial data coming from the “good” part of the potential well. For such a global solution, we prove that the total energy of the system decays exponentially or algebraically, depending on the behavior of the dissipation in the system near the origin. We also prove the existence of a global attractor.

Effects on the bifurcation and chaos in forced Duffing oscillator due to nonlinear damping

In this communication, the two-well Duffing oscillator with non-linear damping term proportional to the power of velocity is considered. We mainly focus our attention on how the damping exponent affects the global dynamical behaviour of the oscillator. In particular, we obtain analytically the threshold condition for the occurrence of homoclinic bifurcation using Melnikov technique and compare the results with the computational results. We also identify the major route to chaos and the regions of the 2D parameter space (consists of external forcing amplitude and damping coefficient) corresponding to the various types of asymptotic dynamics under linear (viscous or friction like) and nonlinear (drag like) damping. We also attempt to analyze how the basins of attraction patterns change with the introduction of nonlinear damping. We also present our analysis for the physically less-interesting cases where damping is proportional to the 3rd and 4th power of velocity for the sake of generalizing our findings and establishing firm conclusion.
