Exponential and Polynomial Decay for a Laminated Beam with Fourier's Type Heat Conduction

In this paper, we study the well-posedness and the asymptotic behavior of a one-dimensional laminated beam system, where the heat conduction is given by Fourier's law effective in the rotation angle displacements. We show that the system is well-posed by using the Hille-Yosida theorem and prove that the system is exponentially stable if and only if the wave speeds are equal. Furthermore, we show that the system is polynomially stable provided that the wave speeds are not equal.
