Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam models (Elishakoff 2019, Who developed the so-called Timoshenko beam theory? Math Mech Solids 25(1):97–116) and we established exponential decay results based on influence of the second spectrum of frequency and its damaging consequences for wave propagation speeds. For the classical case, having two wave speeds governing the stress waves and shear waves, we prove that the corresponding semigroup associated with the system decays exponentially under equal wave speeds assumption. On contrary, there is a lack of exponential stability and we prove its optimality based on Borichev-Tomilov approach. For the truncated case, we assure the well-posedness using the Faedo–Galerkin method and we prove that the total energy decays exponentially regardless any relationship between coefficients of the system using the energy method.
