Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the Timoshenko system in thermo-elasticity, where the heat conduction is given by the Gurtin–Pipkin thermal law in one-dimensional space. We show an optimal decay rate of the -norm of the solution with the rate of which is better than found in [6]. We also extend the recent results in [7] and [8] and showed that those results are only particular cases of the one obtained here. Also, we prove that the decay rate is controlled by a crucial stability number which depends on the parameters of the system.
