Stabilization of Berger–Timoshenko’s equation as limit of the uniform stabilization of the von Kármán system of beams and plates
We consider a dynamical one-dimensional nonlinear von Kármán model for beams depending on a parameter and study its asymptotic behavior for large, as . Introducing appropriate damping mechanisms we show that the energy of solutions of the corresponding damped models decay exponentially uniformly with respect to the parameter . In order for this to be true the damping mechanism has to have the appropriate scale with respect to . In the limit as we obtain damped Berger–Timoshenko beam models...
