Regularity and asymptotic behavior for a damped plate-membrane transmission problem (Q2633689)

The authors consider a transmission problem where a structurally damped plate equation is coupled with a damped or undamped wave equation by transmission conditions. They show that exponential stability holds in the damped-damped situation and polynomial stability (but no exponential stability) holds in the damped-undamped case. Additionally, they show that the solutions first defined by the weak formulation, in fact have higher Sobolev space regularity.
