Abstract

This paper is concerned with the large-time behaviour of energy for the n-dimensional nonhomogeneous and anisotropic elastic system with a locally reacting boundary subject to small oscillations. Under reasonable assumptions, the polynomial decay for the energy of such a model has been established. Multiplicative techniques and the energy method are used.
