# The effect of the wave speeds and the frictional damping terms on the decay rate of the Bresse system

• In this paper, we consider the Bresse system with frictional damping terms. We investigated the relationship between the frictional damping terms, the wave speeds of propagation and their influence on the decay rate of the solution. We proved that in many cases the solution enjoys the decay property of regularity-loss type. We introduced a new assumption on the wave speeds that controls the behavior of the solution of the Bresse system. In addition, when the coefficient $l$ goes to zero, we showed that the solution of the Bresse system decays faster than the one of the Timoshenko system. This result seems to be the first one to give the decay rate of the solution of the Bresse system in unbounded domain.
