This work deals with a coupled system of wave with past history effective just in one of the equations. We show that the dissipation given by the memory effect is not strong enough to produce exponential decay. On the other hand, we show that the solution of this system decays polynomially with rate t − 1 2 . Moreover by recent result due to A. Borichev and Y. Tomilov, we show that the rate is optimal. To the best of our knowledge, there is no result for optimal rate of polynomial decay for coupled wave systems with memory in the previous literature.

In this work we consider a coupled system of two weakly dissipative wave equations. We show that the solution of this system decays polynomially and the decay rate is optimal. Computational experiments are conducted in the one-dimensional case in order to show that the energies properties are preserved. In particular, we use finite differences and also spectral methods.

We consider a nonlinear degenerate coupled beams system with weak damping. We show using the Nakao method that the solution of this system decays exponentially when the time tends to infinity.
