Blow-up solutions for damped Rao-Nakra beams with source terms

Mirelson M. Freitas, Mauro L. Santos, Carlos A. Raposo, Anderson A. Ramos, Jorge Ferreira

Abstract:
This article concerns the blow-up of solutions for a damped Rao-Nakra beam equation with nonlinear source terms at arbitrary initial energy levels. We estimate the lower and upper bounds of the lifespan of the blow-up solution and the blow-up rate by considering both linear and nonlinear weak damping terms.
