Existence and Exponential Decay of Solutions to a Quasilinear Thermoelastic Plate System

Abstract

Abstract. We consider a quasilinear PDE system which models nonlinear vibrations of a thermoelastic plate defined on a bounded domain in R n , n ≤ 3. Existence of finite energy solutions describing the dynamics of a nonlinear thermoelastic plate is established. In addition asymptotic long time behavior of weak solutions is discussed. It is shown that finite energy solutions decay exponentially to zero with the rate depending only on the (finite energy) size of initial conditions. The proofs are based on methods of weak compactness along with nonlocal partial differential operator multipliers which supply the sought after "recovery" inequalities. Regularity of solutions is also discussed by exploiting the underlying analyticity of the linearized semigroup along with a related maximal parabolic regularity [1,16,44].

Global Existence, Asymptotic Behavior and Blow-up of Solutions for a Suspension Bridge Equation with Nonlinear Damping and Source Terms

“…Under some assumptions, he showed the solution of (1.9) decays exponentially if g behaves like a linear function, whereas the decay is polynomially otherwise. For more decay results, we refer the reader to [5,6,7,10,16,19,25,26,40,43,47,48] and the references therein. In recent years, more authors pay attention to the lower and upper bounds for blow-up time.…”

Global existence and exponential stability for a nonlinear thermoelastic Kirchhoff–Love plate

“…In Section 2 below, we present a short physical deduction of Equations (1.1a)-(1.1d). Lasiecka et al [12] studied a quasilinear PDE system similar to (1.1a)-(1.1d) in a smooth, bounded domain Ω of R d with d ≤ 3 given by a Kirchhoff & Love plate with parabolic heat conduction w tt + △ 2 w − △θ + a△ (△w) 3 = 0 in (0, T ) × Ω, (1.2a)…”
