General decay of solutions to a one-dimensional thermoelastic beam with variable coefficients

Abstract The vibrations of flexible structures in practice are described by nonlinear models of strings, beams, plates, and so on. This paper is concerned with longitudinal vibrations of a thermoelastic beam equation. Our main result is the general decay of the system. Using the multiplier method an...
