Well-Posedness and Stability Results for a Nonlinear Damped Porous–Elastic System with Infinite Memory and Distributed Delay Terms

Abstract

In the present paper, we consider an important problem from the application perspective in science and engineering, namely, one-dimensional porous–elastic systems with nonlinear damping, infinite memory and distributed delay terms. A new minimal conditions, placed on the nonlinear term and the relationship between the weights of the different damping mechanisms, are used to show the well-posedness of the solution using the semigroup theory. The solution energy has an explicit and optimal decay for the cases of equal and nonequal speeds of wave propagation.
