Abstract

In this paper, we consider an Euler-Bernoulli beam equation with one segment of the beam made of viscoelastic material of Boltzmann type and the other segment made of elastic material. Strong stability and exponential stability of the associated semigroup are obtained under certain smoothness conditions imposed on the coefficient functions of the equation.
