The Exponential Stability Result of an Euler-Bernoulli Beam Equation with Interior Delays and Boundary Damping

We study the exponential stability of Euler-Bernoulli beam with interior time delays and boundary damping. At first, we prove the well-posedness of the system by the C0 semigroup theory. Next we study the exponential stability of the system by constructing appropriate Lyapunov functionals. We transform the exponential stability issue into the solvability of inequality equations. By analyzing the relationship between delays parameters α and damping parameters β, we describe (β,α)-region for which the system is exponentially stable. Furthermore, we obtain an estimation of the decay rate λ⁎
