Uniform decay rates for the solutions to the Euler-Bernoulli plate equation with boundary feedback acting via bending moments (Q1198728)

The aim of this paper is to consider a physically valid and meaningful model of the Euler-Bernoulli plate with boundary conditions. The author proves that the appropriately selected boundary feedback uniformly stabilizes the model, i.e., the energy decays to zero when \(t\to+\infty\). The author develops new regularity results for the traces of the solution to special types of plates problems. This regularity together with sharp energy estimates imply that uniform stabilization holds.
