Abstract:

In this paper, we consider a vibrating system of Timoshenko-type in a one-dimensional bounded domain with complementary frictional damping and infinite memory acting on the transversal displacement. We show that the dissipation generated by these two complementary controls guarantees the stability of the system in case of the equal-speed propagation as well as in the opposite case. We establish in each case a general decay estimate of the solutions. In the particular case when the wave propagation speeds are different and the frictional damping is linear, we give a relationship between the smoothness of the initial data and the decay rate of the solutions. By the end of the paper, we discuss some applications to other Timoshenko-type systems.

Key words: well-posedness, decay, damping, Timoshenko, thermoelasticity
