Exponential decay to partially thermoelastic materials
We study the thermoelastic system for material which are partially thermoelastic. That is, a material divided into two parts, one of them a good conductor of heat, so there exists a thermoelastic phenomenon. The other is a bad conductor of heat so there is not heat flux. We prove for such models that the solution decays exponentially as time goes to infinity. We also consider a nonlinear case.
