Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate a nonlinear viscoelastic equation with a time-varying delay effect and velocity-dependent material density. Under suitable assumptions on the relaxation function and time-varying delay effect, we prove the global existence of weak solutions and general decay of the energy by using Faedo-Galerkin method and the perturbed energy method respectively. This result improves earlier ones in the literature, such as Refs.[1, 48-50].

Key words: Global existence, Nonlinear viscoelastic equation, General decay, Time-varying delay, Velocity-dependent material density, Perturbed energy method
