A Lyapunov approach for the exponential stability of a damped Timoshenko beam
Résumé
In this technical note, we consider the stability properties of a
viscously damped Timoshenko beam equations with spatially varying
parameters. With the help of the port-Hamiltonian framework, we
first prove the existence of solutions and show, by the use of an
appropriate Lyapunov function, that the system is exponentially
stable and has an explicit decay rate. The explicit exponential
bound is computed for an illustrative example for which we provide
some numerical simulations.
