We consider the dynamical one‐dimensional Mindlin–Timoshenko model for beams. We study the existence of solutions for a contact problem associated with the Mindlin–Timoshenko system. We also analyze how its energy decays exponentially to zero as time goes to infinity. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
