Abstract

We consider the vibrations of a cantilever structure modeled by the standard linear flexible model of viscoelasticity coupled to an expectedly dissipative effect through heat conduction. It is shown that the amplitude of such vibrations is bounded under some restriction of the disturbing force. Using multiplier technique, an uniform exponential stability of the system is obtained directly, when the disturbing force is insignificant.
