Abstract

In this paper, we give a mathematical treatment of a model for small vertical vibrations of an elastic membrane coupled with a heat equation and subject to nonlinear mixed boundary conditions. We establish the existence, uniqueness, and a uniform decay rate for global solutions to this nonlinear nonlocal thermoelastic coupled system under nonlinear boundary conditions.
