Exponential decay of solutions to an inertial model for a wave equation with viscoelastic damping and time varying delay

AbstractIn the present work, we study the global existence and uniform decay rates of solutions to the initial-boundary value problem related to the dynamic behavior of evolution equations accounting for rotational inertial forces along with a linear time-nonlocal Kelvin-Voigt damping arising in viscoelastic materials. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functional, we show that the solution converges to the equilibrium state exponentially in the energy space.Mathematics Subject Classification (2020): 35A0137L6593C2093D15Key words: Global existenceFaedo-Galerkin methodrelaxation functionviscoelasticity
