We prove some decay estimates of the energy of the wave equation governed by localized nonlinear dissipations in a bounded domain in which trapped rays may occur. The approach is based on a comparison with the linear damped wave equation and an interpolation argument. Our result extends to the nonlinear damped wave equation the well-known optimal logarithmic decay rate for the linear damped wave equation with regular initial data.
