Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of solutions to the Shear beam model without rotational inertia, where a dissipative mechanism acts only on the equation governing the rotations of the cross-sections. Owing to the elliptic-hyperbolic structure of the system, we prove that the energy decays at a sharp polynomial rate. The optimality is established through resolvent estimates on the imaginary axis based on important arguments of 7. This result contributes to the stabilization theory of partially damped beam models and settles an important open question concerning the asymptotic behavior in this class of systems.
