In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of a nonlinear coupled system of wave equations with damping terms and subjected to small perturbations of autonomous external forces. Using the recent approach by Chueshov and Lasiecka in [21], we prove that this dynamical system is quasi-stable by establishing a quasistability estimate, as consequence, the existence of global and exponential attractors is proved. Finally, we investigate the upper and lower semicontinuity of global attractors under autonomous perturbations.

The problem of Reissner–Mindlin–Timoshenko plate systems with nonlinear damping terms is considered. The main result is the existence of global attractors. By showing the system is gradient and asymptotic smoothness via a stabilizability inequality, we establish the existence of global attractors with finite fractal dimension. The continuity of global attractors regarding the parameter in a residual dense set is also proved. The above results allow the damping terms with polynomial growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with a fully-dynamic piezoelectric beam model with a nonlinear force acting on the longitudinal displacements of the beam. The equations of motion follows a system of non-compactly coupled wave equation. As the magnetic effects are discarded by setting the magnetic permeability $ \mu $ to zero, the equations are fully decoupled to a single wave equation (electrostatic/quasi-static beam model). The existence of smooth finite-dimensional global attractors is proved by considering a damping injection to only one of the equations. Next, the existence of a finite set of determining functionals for the long-time behavior of the system is proved. Finally, to transition from the fully-dynamic beam model to the commonly-used electrostatic/quasi-static beam model, a singular limit problem $ \mu \to 0 $ is considered. This analysis allows to compare the attractors from one model to another in the sense of the upper semi-continuity of the attractor $ \mathcal{A}_{\mu} $ as $ \mu \to 0 $. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is concerned with a porous elastic problem in a past history framework. We study its long-time behavior through the corresponding autonomous dynamical system. Instead of showing the directly the system has a bounded absorbing set, we show the system is gradient system and asymptotic smoothness, and prove the existence of a global attractor, which is characterized as unstable manifold of the set of stationary solutions. We also get the quasi-stability of the system by establishing a stabilizability inequality and therefore obtain the finite fractal dimension of the global attractor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the long-time behaviour of a system consisting of two nonlinear wave equations under the action of three competing forces, damping forces, strong source and external force. It is of great interest to know how the relationship between these forces acts on the behaviour of the solutions of the system. In this sense, we investigate the well-posedness of system, as well as the existence of global and exponential attractors. In addition, we consider the upper semicontinuity of the global attractor when the coupling parameter of the system tends to zero. Once proved the existence of global solutions (in time), to obtain the existence of global and exponential attractors results, we prove that the dynamical system associated to solutions of the model is quasi-stable and gradient.

In this paper, we consider a porous–elastic system where the dissipation mechanisms act on the elastic and on the porous structures. Here, we consider the one-dimensional porous–elastic system defined on bounded domains in space and we proved the polynomial stability when a particular relationship between the damping parameters is equal to zero. We also prove the optimality of the rate of polynomial decay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
