In this paper, we are concerned with a nonlinear coupled viscoelastic wave equations with initial-boundary value conditions and nonlinear damping and source terms. Under suitable assumptions on relaxation functions, damping terms, and source terms, by using the energy method we proved a global nonexistence result for certain solutions with negative initial energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
