Abstract:

In this paper, we consider a system of coupled quasilinear viscoelastic equa-tions with nonlinear damping. We use the perturbed energy method to show the general decay rate estimates of energy of solutions, which extends some existing results concerning a general decay for a single equation to the case of system, and a nonlinear system of viscoelastic wave equations to a quasilinear system.

Key words: general decay, coupled quasilinear equations, viscoelastic equations, per-turbed energy method
