Well-posedness and exponential decay for a laminated beam in thermoelasticity of type III with delay term

Abstract

We study the well-posedness and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to a laminated beam in thermoelasticity of type III with delay term in the first equation. We show that the system is well-posed by using Lumer-Philips theorem and prove that the system is exponentially stable if and only if the wave speeds are equal.
