The decay of solutions in nonsimple elasticity with memory is addressed, analyzing how
the decay rate is influenced by the different dissipation mechanisms appearing in the
equations. In particular, a first order dissipation is shown to guarantee the asymptotic
stability of the related solution semigroup, but is not strong enough to entail exponential
stability. The latter occurs for a dissipation mechanism of the second order, that is, the
same order as the one of the leading operator. |
