Existence and uniform decay for the Euler-Bernoulli viscoelastic equation with nonlocal boundary dissipation. (English) Zbl 1009.74034
Summary: The linear Euler-Bernoulli viscoelastic equation $u_{tt}+ \Delta^2u- \int^t_0 g(t-\tau)\Delta^2 u(\tau)\, d\tau= 0\quad\text{in }\Omega\times (0,\infty)$ subject to nonlinear boundary conditions is considered. We prove existence and uniform decay rates of the energy by assuming a nonlinear and nonlocal feedback acting on the boundary, and provided that the kernel of the memory decays exponentially.
