Stability of a Nonlinear Axially Moving String with the Kelvin-Voigt Damping

In this paper, a nonlinear axially moving string with the Kelvin-Voigt damping is considered. It is proved that the string is stable, i.e., its transversal displacement converges to zero when the axial speed of the string is less than a certain critical value. The proof is established by showing that a Lyapunov function corresponding to the string decays to zero exponentially. It is also shown ...

Transmission Problems in (Thermo)Viscoelasticity with Kelvin-Voigt Damping: Nonexponential, Strong, and Polynomial Stability

We investigate transmission problems between a (thermo-)viscoelastic system with Kelvin-Voigt damping, and a purely elastic system. It is shown that neither the elastic damping by Kelvin-Voigt mechanisms nor the dissipative effect of the temperature in one material can assure the exponential stability of the total system when it is coupled through transmission to a purely elastic system. The ap...

The Lack of Exponential Stability in Certain Transmission Problems with Localized Kelvin-Voigt Dissipation

Abstract. In this paper we consider the transmission problem of a material composed of three components; one of them is a Kelvin–Voigt viscoelastic material, the second is an elastic material (no dissipation), and the third is an elastic material inserted with a frictional damping mechanism. The main result of this paper is that the rate of decay will depend on the position of each component. W...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
