Exponential stability of the Euler-Bernoulli microbeam and thermal effect

Abstract

The main goal in this work is to prove the exponential decay of the semigroup associated with a thermoelastic system composed of an Euler-Bernoulli type equation that models the transverse oscillation of a homogeneous microbeam with axial movement and in which a viscous damping is acting. In addition, to this microbeam has been endowed with a thermal effect given by the Coleman-Gurtin model which depends essentially on past history, representing an improvement of Fourier, Cattaneo, and Green-Naghdi models. To achieve these goals, we will use mainly multiplicative techniques and standard tools of functional analysis.
