Abstract: In this paper we study Cauchy problem for thermoelastic plate equations with friction or structural damping in mathbbRn, ngeq1, where the heat conduction is modeled by Fourier's law. We explain some qualitative properties of solutions influenced by different damping mechanisms. We show which damping in the model has a dominant influence on smoothing effect, energy estimates, Lp−Lq estimates not necessary on the conjugate line, and on diffusion phenomena. Moreover, we derive asymptotic profiles of solutions in a framework of weighted L1 data. In particular, sharp decay estimates for lower bound and upper bound of solutions in the dotHs norm (sgeq0) are shown.


The author studies the Cauchy problem for a thermoelastic plate equation in \(\mathbb{R}^n,\ n\ge 1\) with the heat conduction modeled by Fourier's law: \begin{align*} &u_{tt}+\Delta^2u + \Delta\theta + (-\Delta)^\sigma u_t=0,\quad \theta_t-\Delta \theta - \Delta u_t = 0,\ \delta \in [0,2],\quad t>0,\ x\in \mathbb{R}^n;\\ &(u,u_t,\theta)(0,x)=(u_0,u_1,\theta_0)(x),\ x\in \mathbb{R}^n \end{align*} with \(\sigma=0\) standing for the system with friction or external damping, \(\sigma \in (0,2]\) expresses the structural damping with Kelvin-Voigt type in the case \(\sigma = 2\). Applying the Fourier transform he achieves the smoothing effects and \(L^2\) well-posedness of the problem. Various qualitative properties of solutions involving the diffusion phenomena and their asymptotic profiles in the framework of weighted \(L^1\) data are achieved too.
