General energy decay estimate for a viscoelastic damped swelling porous elastic soils with time delay

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the viscoelastic damped swelling porous elastic soils with time delay. Under more general assumption on the relaxation function and some specific conditions on the weight of the delay, we establish general decay results by using multiplier method and some properties of convex functions. These results generalize and improve some earlier related results in the literature.
