We investigate a initial-boundary value problem for the nonlinear beam equation with variable coefficients on the action of a linear internal damping. We show the existence of a unique global weak solution and that the energy associated with this solution has a rate decay estimate. Besides, we prove the existence and uniqueness of non-local strong solutions.
