ABSTRACT

We introduce a model of a vibrating multidimensional structure made of a n  -dimensional body and a one-dimensional rod. We actually consider the anisotropic elastodynamic system in the n  -dimensional body and the Euler-Bernouilli beam in the one-dimensional rod. These equations are coupled via their boundaries. Using appropriate feedbacks on a part of the boundary we show the exponential decay of the energy of the system.

Key words: multidimensional structures, stabilization, exponential decay.
