Long-time dynamics in plate models with strong nonlinear damping (Q1947882): Difference between revisions

The main novelty of this paper is the following: the strong nonlinear displacement and velocity-dependent damping of a general structure is considered and this damping can be perturbed by low-order terms. The main result is Theorem 3.1 which states the existence of a compact global attractor and describes asymptotic properties of the system generated by a class of plate models with strong nonlinear damping -- a Cauchy problem in a separable Hilbert space. The corresponding system is quasi-stable and one can apply general theorems on properties of quasi-stable systems. The existence of a fractal exponential attractor is established and the conditions that guarantee the existence of a finite number of determining functionals are given. The nonlinear Kirchhoff, Karman, and Berger plate models with different types of boundary conditions and strong damping terms are considered.
