Optimal energy decay rate in a damped Rayleigh beam
We consider a clamped Rayleigh beam subject to a
positive viscous damping.
Using an explicit approximation, we first give the asymptotic expansion of
eigenvalues and
eigenfunctions of the underlying system. We next identify the
optimal energy decay rate of the system with the supremum of the real
part of the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator of the
associated semigroup.
