This is the second part of paper [8], where a model of a heavy chain system with a punctual load (tip mass) in the form of a system of partial differential equations was interpreted as an abstract semigroup system and then analysed on a Hilbert state space. In particular, in [8] we have formulated the problem of exponential stabilizability of a heavy chain in a given position. It was also shown...

In this paper, we investigate a Bresse-type system of thermoelasticity of type III in the presence of a distributed delay. We prove the well-posedness of the problem. Furthermore, an exponential stability result will be shown without the usual assumption on the wave speeds. To achieve our goals, we make use of the semigroup method and the energy method.
