General decay of a von Karman plate equation with memory on the boundary

We investigate the influence of boundary dissipation on the decay property of the solutions for a von Karman plate equation with a memory condition on one part of the boundary. Dropping the condition u0=0 on one part of the boundary, we show a general stability result for the equation via setting modified energy functionals which are equivalent to the energy of the equation and using some properties of convex functions. This result allows a wider class of relaxation functions and improve earlier results of Mustafa and Abusharkh (2015) and Park and Park (2005).
