Strong asymptotic stability of isotropic elasticity systems with internal damping (Q4226237)

The author considers the following homogeneous isotropic elasticity system with internal damping: \[ \begin{aligned} u''-\mu \Delta u-(\lambda+\mu)\nabla (\text{div } u)+ g(u')=0 &\;\text{in} \Omega\times{\mathbb R}_{+},\\ u=0 &\;\text{on} \;\Gamma_{0}\times {\mathbb R}_{+},\\ \mu {{\partial u}\over {\partial \nu}} +(\lambda+\mu) (\text{div } u) \nu +Au=0 &\;\text{on} \Gamma_{1}\times {\mathbb R}_{+},\\ u(0)=u_{0} &\;\text{and} u'(0)=u_{1} \text{in} \Omega. \end{aligned} \] Here \(\Omega\subset {\mathbb R}^{n}\) is a bounded and open domain with boundary \(\Gamma \in C^{2}\), \(\nu\) stands for the unit outward normal to \(\Gamma\), \(\{\Gamma_{0},\Gamma_{1}\}\) is a partition of \(\Gamma \) such that \(\bar \Gamma_{0}\cap \bar \Gamma_{1}=\emptyset\), \(\lambda\) and \(\mu\) are positive constants, and \(A: \Gamma_{1}\to {\mathbb R}_{+}\) is a continuously differentiable function. Assuming \(g\in C^{1}\) to be an increasing function such that \(xg(x)>0\) for \(x\neq 0\) and \[ c_{1}| x| \leq | g(x)| \leq c_{2}| x| ^{q-1}\quad \text{ for all }| x| \geq 1,\quad 2\leq q\leq {{2n}\over {n-2}}, \] the author proves that the unique solution of the above problem decays to zero when \(t\to\infty\).
