The author studies the global existence and asymptotic stability of solutions of dynamic PDE models of suspension bridges. Namely, the following coupled system is considered: \[ u_{tt}+\Delta ^2u-k(v-u)+g_1(u_t)=0,\quad v_{tt}-\Delta v+k(v-u)+g_2(v_t)=0 \] with \(x\in \Omega\), \(t\geq 0\), where \(g_1, g_2\) are real functions, \(\Omega\) is a bounded open domain in a Euclidean space. In addition the corresponding boundary and initial conditions are taken.
