Abstract
In this paper, we consider the magneto-thermoelastic interactions in a two-dimensional Mindlin–Timoshenko plate. Our main result is concerned with the strong asymptotic stabilization of the model. In particular, we determine the rate of polynomial decay of the associated energy. In contrast with what was observed in other related articles, geometrical hypotheses on the plate configuration (such as radial symmetry) are not imposed in this study nor any kind of frictional damping mechanism. A suitable multiplier is instrumental in establishing the polynomial stability with the aid of a recent result due to Borichev and Tomilov (Math Ann 347(2):455–478, 2010).
