Stabilization of Euler–Bernoulli plate equation with variable coefficients by nonlinear boundary feedback

The aim of this paper is to investigate the uniform stabilization of Euler–Bernoulli plate equation with variable coefficients in the principle part subject to nonlinear boundary feedback laws. The exponential or rational energy decay rate is obtained by the multiplier method and the Riemannian geometry method.  2005 Published by Elsevier Inc.
