Well-posedness and exponential decay for a laminated beam with distributed delay term

Abstract

In this paper, we study the well-posedness and the asymptotic behavior of a one-dimensional laminated beam system with a distributed delay term in the first equation, where the heat conduction is given by Fourier's law effective in the rotation angle displacements. We first give the well-posedness of the system by using the semigroup method. Then, we show that the system is exponentially stable under the assumption of equal wave speeds.
