We consider a linear system of Timoshenko type in a bounded interval. No dissipative mechanism is added in the system or at the edges of the beam. The damping occurs through a thermal effect by coupling the system with a heat equation suggested by Green and Naghdi. We prove exponential decay of solutions of the augmented system. (2010).
