Cauchy problem for thermoelastic plate equations with different damping mechanisms

Abstract

In this paper we study Cauchy problem for thermoelastic plate equations with friction or structural damping in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, $n\ge 1$, where the heat conduction is modeled by Fourier's law. We explain some qualitative properties of solutions influenced by different damping mechanisms. We show which damping in the model has a dominant influence on smoothing effect, energy estimates, $L^p-L^q$ estimates not necessary on the conjugate line, and on diffusion phenomena. Moreover, we derive asymptotic profiles of solutions in a framework of weighted $L^1$ data. In particular, sharp decay estimates for lower bound and upper bound of solutions in the ${\dot{H}}^s$ norm ($s\ge 0$) are shown.
