Abstract
In this paper we consider a viscoelastic plate equation with distributed delay and source term. Under suitable conditions on the delay and source term, we establish an explicit and general decay rate result without imposing restrictive assumptions on the behavior of the relaxation function at infinity. Our result allows a wider class of relaxation functions and improves earlier results in the literature.
