A transmission problem for beams on nonlinear supports
Boundary Value Problems volume 2006, Article number: 75107 (2006)
Abstract
A transmission problem involving two Euler-Bernoulli equations modeling the vibrations of a composite beam is studied. Assuming that the beam is clamped at one extremity, and resting on an elastic bearing at the other extremity, the existence of a unique global solution and decay rates of the energy are obtained by adding just one damping device at the end containing the bearing mechanism.
