Abstract: We consider a class of abstract second order evolution equations with a restoring force that is strictly superlinear at infinity with respect to the position, and a dissipation mechanism that is strictly superlinear at infinity with respect to the velocity. Under the assumption that the growth of the restoring force dominates the growth of the dissipation, we prove a universal bound property, namely that the energy of solutions is bounded for positive times, independently of the initial condition. Under a slightly stronger assumption, we show also a universal decay property, namely that the energy decays (as time goes to infinity) at least as a multiple of a negative power of t, again independent of the boundary conditions. We apply the abstract results to solutions of some nonlinear wave, plate and Kirchhoff equations in a bounded domain.
