In this paper, we consider a piezoelectric beam model with nonlinear source terms and investigate the interaction between a viscoelastic damping and a nonlinear frictional damping. Under general assumptions on the relaxation function and the nonlinear feedback, we establish explicit formulae for the energy decay rates of this system and prove that the energy decays at a rate dictated by the weaker damping. Our results substantially improve some earlier related results in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we investigate the general decay rate of the solutions for a class of fractional Laplace viscoelastic equations in the whole space ℝn,n≥1$$ {\mathbb{R}}^n,n\ge 1 $$, given by utt−Δu+u−∫0tg(t−s)(−Δ)αu(s)ds=0,$$ {u}_{tt}-\Delta u+u-{\int}_0^tg\left(t-s\right){\left(-\Delta \right)}^{\alpha }u(s) ds=0, $$with 0<α<1$$ 0<\alpha <1 $$ and g$$ g $$ satisfying g′(t)≤−η(t)g(t)$$ {g}^{\prime }(t)\le -\eta (t)g(t) $$. We prove the existence of a solution formula then use the energy method in the Fourier space to establish a general decay result which depends on α$$ \alpha $$ and η$$ \eta $$. We also present three illustrative examples by the end. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the following viscoelastic problem with variable exponent nonlinearities: utt−Δu+∫0tg(t−s)Δu(s)ds+a|ut|m(·)−2ut=|u|q(·)−2u,where m(.) and q(.) are two functions satisfying specific conditions. This type of problems appears in fluid dynamics, the electrorheological fluids (smart fluids), which show changing (often dramatically) in the viscosity when an electrical field is applied. The Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponents are efficient tools to analyze such problems. In this work, we prove a global existence result using the well‐depth method and establish explicit and general decay results under a very general assumption on the relaxation function. Our results extend and generalize many results in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
