Abstract

In this paper, we prove the well-posedness of a nonlinear wave equation coupled with boundary conditions of Dirichlet and acoustic type imposed on disjoints open boundary subsets. The proposed nonlinear equation models small vertical vibrations of an elastic medium with weak internal damping and a general nonlinear term. We also prove the exponential decay of the energy associated with the problem. Our results extend the ones obtained by Frota-Goldstein [18] and Limaco-Clark-Frota-Medeiros [26] to allow weak internal dampings and removing the dimensional restriction 1≤ n≤4. The method we use is based on a finite-dimensional approach by combining the Faedo-Galerkin method with suitable energy estimates and multiplier techniques.
