General decay and blow up of solutions for a variable-exponent viscoelastic double-Kirchhoff type wave equation with nonlocal degenerate damping

In this paper we consider a viscoelastic double-Kirchhoff type wave equation of the form $$ u_{tt}-M_{1}(\|\nabla u\|^{2})\Delta u-M_{2}(\|\nabla u\|_{p(x)})\Delta_{p(x)}u+(g\ast\Delta u)(x,t)+\sigma(\|\nabla u\|^{2})h(u_{t})=\phi(u), $$ where the functions $M_{1},M_{2}$ and $\sigma, \phi$ are real valued functions and $(g\ast\nabla u)(x,t)$ is the viscoelastic term which are introduced later. Under appropriate conditions for the data and exponents, the general decay result and blow-up of solutions are proved with positive initial energy. This study extends and improves the previous results in the literature to viscoelastic double-Kirchhoff type equation with degenerate nonlocal damping and variable-exponent nonlinearities.

A class of diffusion problem of Kirchhoff type with viscoelastic term involving the fractional Laplacian

This work is concerned with a class of diffusion problem of Kirchhoff type with viscoelastic term and nonlinear interior source in the setting of the fractional Laplacian. Under suitable conditions we prove the existence of global solutions and the exponential decay of the energy.

Bifurcation Analysis of a Vibro-Impact Viscoelastic Oscillator with Fractional Derivative Element

To the best of authors’ knowledge, little work has been focused on the noisy vibro-impact systems with fractional derivative element. In this paper, stochastic bifurcation of a vibro-impact oscillator with fractional derivative element and a viscoelastic term under Gaussian white noise excitation is investigated. First, the viscoelastic force is approximately replaced by damping force and stiffness force. Thus the original oscillator is converted to an equivalent oscillator without a viscoelastic term. Second, the nonsmooth transformation is introduced to remove the discontinuity of the vibro-impact oscillator. Third, the stochastic averaging method is utilized to obtain analytical solutions of which the effectiveness can be verified by numerical solutions. We also find that the viscoelastic parameters, fractional coefficient and fractional derivative order can induce stochastic bifurcation.
