In this paper we study the exponential stability of a one-dimensional thermoelastic Bresse system, with distributed neutral delay and a second sound, under suitable assumptions on the kernel of neutral delay term. In 1859, Bresse developed the circular arc problem which consists of three wave equations where the main variables, represent the vertical, longitudinal and shear angle displacements respectively. The Bresse system reduces to the well-known Timoshenko system where the longitudinal displacement w is not considered (l = 0), on the other hand, the energy associated with this system remains constant when the time t evolves, because it is an undamped system. That’s why, different types of dampings should be added to the equations or at the limit, in order to stabilize this system that has been studied by many authors. Many research has looked at the impact of the delay term on the asymptotic behavior of solutions that lead to instability in systems that are uniformly stable in the absence of delay. There are other types of discrete delays in addition to the well-known discrete delays, here we are interested in the neutral delay, which occurs in the second (highest) derivative. We establish the well-posedness result using the Faedo-Galerkin method, in this section we present our assumptions on both kernels and we are needed to announce some lemma, which will be used in the next sections, in order to make the computations easier. Then, we use the multiplier method to establish an exponential stability results although the delay is a source of instability, we show that the dissipation given by the combination of neutral delay with the heat effect and the frictional damping stabilize exponentially the system in the case of equal wave speeds by introducing a suitable Lyaponov functional. Other than that, the system’s exponential stability is lacking.
