Abstract

In this paper, we study the indirect boundary stabilization of the Timoshenko system with only one dissipation law. This system, which models the dynamics of a beam, is a hyperbolic system with two wave speeds. Assuming that the wave speeds are equal, we prove non-uniform stability and an optimal polynomial energy decay rate is obtained. Otherwise, if the ratio of the wave speeds is a rational number, we show that the decay rate is of polynomial type.
