In this paper, we consider the solution of an initial value problem for the generalized damped Boussinesq equation

$u_{t t} - a u_{t t x x}- 2 b u_{t x x} = - c u_{x x x x}+ u_{x x} - p^2 u + \beta(u^2)_{x x},$

where $x\in R^1,$ $t > 0,$ $a ,$ $b$ and $c$ are positive constants, $p \ne 0,$ and $\beta \in R^1$. For the case $a + c > b^2$ corresponding to damped oscillations with an infinite number of oscillation cycles, we establish the well-posedness theorem of the global solution to the problem and derive a large time asymptotic solution.
