Abstract
This paper discusses the Cauchy problem for a semilinear homogeneous, isotropic Mindlin–Timoshenko plate in \({\mathbb {R}}^2\) with irrotational filament angle field. Applying Kawashima’s energy method in the frequency space, the decay rate for the semigroup associated with the linearized system is established. Moreover, the existence and uniqueness of local solution are proved with Banach’s fixed point theorem. Finally, the global existence and uniqueness of classical solution along with polynomial decay are proved via the barrier method.

1 Introduction and main result
The two-dimensional linear system for frictional damping isotropic plate can be written as follows
which describes the vibration of an elastic plate. Here, \(\varvec{x}=(x,y)\in {\mathbb {R}}^2\) and \(t\in {\mathbb {R}}_+\) denote the space and time variables, respectively. \(D>0\) is the modulus of flexural rigidity, \(A=\frac{\rho h^3}{12}\) and \(\rho , h, \alpha>0, \beta >0, 0<\mu <1\) are constants. K is called the shear modulus, more details can be found in [1, 2, 14].
In [14], Lagnese considered a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, under some geometric conditions, the exponentially stable was achieved without any restrictions on the coefficients. To our best knowledge, Mu\(\tilde{\textrm{n}}\)oz Rivera and Racke [18] first considered the dissipative nonlinear Timoshenko system which has the heat conduction effect,
where \(\rho _1,\rho _2,\rho _3,b,k, l\) are positive constants. They obtained the global existence of small, smooth solutions as well as the exponential stability. Then, Fernández Sare [4] studied the stability of Mindlin–Timoshnko plates and proved that the system was not exponentially stable independent of any relations between the constants of the system, the polynomial decay rates also was obtained. Grobbelaar–van Dalsen did extensive research on the decay estimates for the Mindlin–Timoshenko system with different kinds of conditions, which can be found in [6,7,8,9,10]. For more related boundary value results, we refer to [3, 5, 21,22,23,24,25, 29] and references were cited.
For the Cauchy problem, Rack et al. [28] studied a semilinear Timoshenko system with two damping effects, the optimal decay rates and the global well-posedness for small data were obtained. Recently, Li and Xue [16] considered semilinear Mindlin–Timoshenko system with an irrotationality condition for the angle variables, and the decay estimate was shown. More results for Cauchy problem can be found in [26, 30] and the references therein. Motivated by the papers mentioned above, in this paper, we focus on the decay estimate and the global existence of solution for the Cauchy problem to a semilinear Mindlin–Timoshenko system with full-friction terms. By adding one irrotationality condition for the angle terms, i.e., \(\psi _y=\varphi _x\), the system is simplified and the polynomial decay rate is obtained.
For system (1.1), based on the irrotationality condition, we can derive the following system
where \(A=\frac{\rho h^3}{12},\) f be a function derived from \(\varphi ,\psi \) which will be introduced in Sect. 2, \({\varvec{x}}=(x,y)\) and \(\alpha ,\beta >0.\)
In this paper, for the sake of clearing the influence of the frictional damping terms and semilinearity on the properties of solutions, we construct the following more complex semilinear problem of the system (1.3). More models can be found in [13].
Define
and
where
and the symbol of \(\Lambda \) is \(|\varvec{\xi }|\), i.e., \({\mathcal {F}}[\Lambda f]=|\varvec{\xi }|{{\hat{f}}}\).
Then, our main result can be described by the following theorem.
Theorem 1.1
(Global existence) Assume \(U_0\in (L^1({\mathbb {R}})\cap L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2)))^6\), \(\displaystyle \int _{{\mathbb {R}}^2}U_0d(x,y)=0\), \(r>8\), then there exists a constant \(\varepsilon >0\), such that if
then there exists a unique global classical solution U to (1.4) satisfying
where \(I_0^2=\displaystyle \int _{{\mathbb {R}}^2}e^{\gamma (x^2+y^2)}U_0^2d(x,y)\), the constant \(\gamma \) satisfies that
Remark 1.1
Note that the result in [16] focuses on the simplifies model of equation (1.3) and obtained the polynomial decay rate \((1+t)^{-\frac{1}{4}}\) and global existence of solutions. Compared with the results in [16], the result in this paper is concerning a more complex models under full frictional damping, we also get the same decay rate.
This paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, the definition of classical solution for the semilinear problem (1.4) is given. In Sect. 3, we give the estimates of linearized system in Fourier space by using the Kawashima energy method. In Sect. 4, the local existence theorem for the semilinear system (1.4) is shown based on the Banach’s fixed point theorem. In Sect. 5, under the smallness assumption, we prove that there exists a unique global in time classical solution to the semilinear system (1.4), where a weighted a priori estimate is given here.
In this paper, we use the following notations. Let \({\hat{g}}(\varvec{\xi })\) be the Fourier transform of \(g(\varvec{x})\),
where \(\varvec{\xi }=(\xi _1,\xi _2)\), \(\varvec{x}=(x,y)\), and \({\mathcal {F}}^{-1}({\hat{g}})\) be the inverse Fourier transform of \({{\hat{g}}}\). Let \(\Vert \cdot \Vert _{p}\) denote the norm of the Lebesgue space \(L^p({\mathbb {R}}^2)\), \(1\le p\le \infty \), and \(\Vert \cdot \Vert _{H^s}\) the norm of the Sobolev space \(H^s({\mathbb {R}}^2)\) for \(s\ge 0\). Denote the symbol of the operator \(\Lambda \) as \(|\varvec{\xi }|\), \(\varvec{\xi }\in {\mathbb {R}}^2\), which means \({\mathcal {F}}(\Lambda f)=|\varvec{\xi }|{\hat{f}}\), and we define operator \({{\tilde{\Lambda }}} = i\Lambda \). The operator \(\Lambda ^s,s \in {\mathbb {R}}\) be defined as
We give some standard lemmas which are quite useful in this paper.

2 Preliminary remarks
In this section, we first give the derivation of the system (1.3) and then, denote the classical solution for the semilinear system (1.4).
2.1 Derivation of system (1.3)
By Green’s theorem, let \(\varphi , \psi \in C^1({\mathbb {R}}^2)\) and if \(\psi _y=\varphi _x\), there exists a function \(f\in C^1({\mathbb {R}}^2)\), satisfying
Then, the original problem (1.1) can be rewritten as
2.2 Classical solution of the semilinear system (1.4)
In order to obtain estimates of the solution for the semilinear system (1.4), the change of variables method is applied so that the system (1.4) is reduced to a first-order one.
In view of the definition of U and \(U_0\) in (1.5), the system (1.4) becomes
where \(g_1=|f_x|^r\), \(g_2=|f_y|^r\), and \(L({\mathcal {D}})\) be defined as the operator whose symbol is \({{\hat{L}}}(\varvec{\xi })\)
Then, the linearized system (2.2) is
It is easy to conclude that the fundamental solution \(G(t,\varvec{x})\) of the Cauchy problem for the linear system (2.3) satisfies
where \(\delta =\delta _x\otimes \delta _y\) is the Dirac data function and \(I_6\) is the sixth-order identity matrix.
The Fourier transform equation (2.4) can be written as
hence, \({{\hat{G}}}(t,\varvec{\xi })=e^{-t{{\hat{L}}}(\varvec{\xi })}\).
Thus, the solution of the system (2.3) can be written as
and, by Duhamel’s formula, the solution of the system (2.2) can be expressed as
3 Decay estimates for the linear system
In this section, we derive the decay estimate for the linear system of (1.4) by using energy method in the Fourier space as in [11].
By Fourier transform of the linearized equation (1.3), we have
where \(|\varvec{\xi }|^2 = \xi _1^2+\xi _2^2.\)
Let
Then, equation (3.1) can be represented as follows
Using the definition of \({{\hat{L}}}(\varvec{\xi })\) in Sect. 2, system (3.2) is written as
We prove the following lemma using the energy estimate in the Fourier space method as in Ide, Haramoto and Kawashima [11].
Lemma 3.1
For all \(t>0\) and \(\varvec{\xi }\in {\mathbb {R}}^2\), the matrix \(e^{-t{\hat{L}}(\varvec{\xi })}\) satisfies
where \(\rho ({\varvec{\xi }})=\frac{|\varvec{\xi }|^2}{(1+|\varvec{\xi }|^2)^2}\), and C, c are positive constants.
Proof
By Kawashima’s multiplier method in the Fourier space, we first multiply the equations in (3.2) by \(\bar{{\hat{u}}},\bar{{\hat{v}}},\bar{{\hat{W}}},\bar{{\hat{X}}},\frac{\bar{{\hat{Y}}}}{A},\frac{\bar{{\hat{Z}}}}{A}\), respectively, sum up the results and take the real part of both sides to get
Second, we multiply the first equation and second equation of (3.2) by \(-i|\varvec{\xi }|\bar{{\hat{v}}},i|\varvec{\xi }|\bar{{\hat{u}}}\), multiply the second and fifth equation in (3.2) by \(\frac{\xi _1}{A|\varvec{\xi }|}\bar{{\hat{Y}}},\frac{\xi _1}{A|\varvec{\xi }|}\bar{{\hat{v}}}\), sum up the results, the real parts satisfy
This indicates that
By Young’s inequality,
where \(0<\varepsilon<1<C_{\varepsilon }\) are constants. This implies that
Third, similarly, we multiply the third equation and fourth equation of (3.2) by \(-i|\varvec{\xi }|\bar{{\hat{X}}},i|\varvec{\xi }|\bar{{\hat{W}}}\), multiply the fourth and fifth equation of (3.2) by \(\frac{\xi _2}{A|\varvec{\xi }|}\bar{{\hat{Y}}},\frac{\xi _2}{A|\varvec{\xi }|}\bar{{\hat{X}}}\), sum up the results. Then, the real part satisfies
which implies
By Young’s inequality, we get
where \(0<\varepsilon<1<C_{\varepsilon }\) are constants. This leads to
Last but not least, we multiply the fifth equation and sixth equation of (3.2) by \(i|\varvec{\xi }|\bar{{\hat{Z}}},-i{|\varvec{\xi }|}\bar{{\hat{Y}}},\) sum up the results. Then, the real part satisfies
which leads to
By Young’s inequality,
Hence,
Let
Then, the Lyapunov function
satisfies
First, we choose \(\varepsilon \) small enough such that \(\varepsilon <\min \{\frac{\sqrt{D}}{2\sqrt{A}},\sqrt{K}\},\) and fix small positive \(\tau _1,\tau _2\) and \(\tau _3\), then we take large positive C such that
Therefore, the inequality (3.12) can be rewritten as
where c is positive constant, and
Since there exist positive constants \(C_i,i=1,2,3,4,\) such that
where \(\rho (\varvec{\xi }) = \frac{|\varvec{\xi }|^4}{(1+|\varvec{\xi }|^2)^2}\). Therefore,
Hence,
By inequality (3.16), we have
The choice of \({{\hat{U}}}(0,\varvec{\xi })\) can be arbitrary, hence,
So, we complete the proof of Lemma 3.1. \(\square \)
Remark 3.1
Notice that \(\frac{\xi _1}{A|\varvec{\xi }|}\bar{\hat{Y}}\) is singularity when \(\varvec{\xi }=0\), the energy method in the Fourier space does not immediately apply in this case, we can apply the fundamental solution method to get the behavior of \(e^{-t{{\hat{L}}}(\varvec{\xi })}\) as the result in Lemma 3.1, for more details can be referred as [16, 28, 30]. In addition, the Fourier splitting method has been employed to investigate the time decay rate of the incompressible third grade fluid equations [31], the Navier–Stokes–Voigt equations [32], the MHD equations and generalized MHD equations [12, 33].
Lemma 3.2
Let \(e^{-tL}\) be the semigroup associated with the system (2.2) which is defined as
Then, we have the following decay estimate:
where C and c are positive constants.
Proof
Based on Lemma 3.1 and Plancherel Theorem (Lemma 1.4), we have
where \(I_L\) and \(I_H\) denote the low and high frequency parts, respectively.
For the low-frequency part, we have \(|\varvec{\xi }|\le 1\), then \(\rho (\varvec{\xi })\ge c|\varvec{\xi }|^4\). According to the Hausdorff–Young inequality, we obtain
For the high-frequency part, we have \(|\varvec{\xi }|\ge 1\), then \(\rho (\varvec{\xi })\ge c\). Moreover, we get
Combining the inequalities (3.22) and (3.23), we complete the proof of Lemma 3.2. \(\square \)
4 Local existence for the semilinear system
In this section, Banach’s fixed point theorem [28] is applied to prove the local existence theorem.
Based on the definition of weak solution, the operator \(L({\mathcal {D}})\) in system (2.2) with domain \(D(L):=(H^1({\mathbb {R}}^2))^6\subset (L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2))^6\rightarrow (L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2))^6\) is, as mentioned in the linear part, the generator of a contraction semigroup \(e^{-tL}\), and for \(U_0\in D(L)\) and \(g_1\in C^1([0,\infty ),L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2))\), \(g_2\in C^1([0,\infty ),L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2))\), we have a classical solution
satisfying
A weak solution is given by an approximation process. Letting \((\delta _n^1)\) and \((\delta _n^2)\) be fixed two Dirac sequences of mollifiers with respect to x and t, respectively, we define \(U_0\in L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2)\) and \(F\in C^0([0,\infty ),L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2))\), approximations \(U_{0,n}:=\delta _n^1*U_0\) and \(F_n:=\delta _n^2*F\) satisfying
Then, we get a sequence of classical solutions \(U_n\) from (4.1) with \(U_{0,n}\) and \(F_n\). Due to (4.2) and (4.3), \(U_n\) converges to some U in \(C^0([0,\infty ),L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2))\) and U satisfies (4.1). This U is called a weak solution.
Define
where \(\gamma \) is a small constant to be defined later, for simplicity denote \(\phi = \phi (t,x,y)\).
Apparently
hence,
and
Notation. For any \(t>0\), \(f\in H^{1}_{\kappa \phi (t,\cdot ,\cdot )}({\mathbb {R}}^2)\) means that
where \(\varepsilon >0\) is small constant.
By Gagliardo–Nirenberg’s inequality (Lemma 1.3), we can obtain the following lemma.
Lemma 4.1
Let \(\theta (m) = 1-\frac{2}{m}\), where \(m>0\), \(0\le \theta (m)\le 1, 0\le \nu \le 1,\) and if \(w\in H_{\nu \phi }^{1}({\mathbb {R}}^2)\), then
Before giving the proof of the above Lemma, we first discuss the following estimates.
Lemma 4.2
Let \(\nu >0,w\in H_{\nu \phi }^{1}({\mathbb {R}}^2)\). Then,
Proof
From the definition of \(\phi \). Denoting \(g=e^{\nu \phi }w\), we have
Thus,
Similarly, since
we can derive that
This completes the proof of Lemma 4.2. \(\square \)
Proof of Lemma 4.1
For \(w\in H^1_{\nu \phi (t,\cdot ,\cdot )}({\mathbb {R}}^2)\), \(\nu \in (0,1]\), we have
Similarly,
Let \(g=e^{\nu \phi }w\), according to the Gagliardo–Nirenberg’s inequality, we have
Thus, combining with Lemma 4.2 can yield that
and
Then, we have
The proof of Lemma 4.1 is finished. \(\square \)
Now, let us give the local existence theorem, which can be described as follows.
Theorem 4.1
(Local existence) Given (f, w) satisfies \(U_0\in {\mathcal {H}}=(H^1({\mathbb {R}}^2))^6,f_x(0,\cdot ,\cdot )\in L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2), f_y(0,\cdot ,\cdot )\in L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2)\), where \(U_0\) is the initial data as (1.6), and
Then, there exists a time \(T_m: = T_m(E_0)>0\), such that the system (2.2) exists a unique solution (f, w) satisfying
where \(0\le T<T_m.\) If \(T_m<\infty ,\) then
Proof
Define
where
Letting
then \(\Omega \) with norm \(\Vert \cdot \Vert _{\phi ,T}\) is a Banach space.
We fix the initial data \(U_0\in {\mathcal {H}}=(H^1({\mathbb {R}}^2))^6,f_x(0,\cdot ,\cdot )\in L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2),f_y(0,\cdot ,\cdot )\in L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2)\). For a fixed \({{\bar{V}}}=({{\bar{f}}},0)^\tau \in B_{\phi ,T}^K\), we define \(\Psi :B_{\phi ,T}^K\rightarrow \Omega ,\Psi ({{\bar{V}}}):=(f,w)^\tau \), where \((f,w)^\tau \) is the weak solution to the following system
Multiplying the three equations of (4.11) by \(f_{xt},f_{yt},\frac{1}{A}w_{t}\), respectively, we have
Multiplying the above equation by \(e^{2\phi (t,x,y)}\), we obtain
Since
and
Equation (4.13) can be written as
Together with \(e^{2\phi }>0,\phi _t<0,\) this equation leads to
Suppose \(\gamma \) in the weight function \(\phi \) satisfies \(0<\gamma <\min \{\frac{\alpha A}{4D},\frac{\beta }{4K}\},\) such that
Then, we have
Integrating both sides over \([0,t)\times {\mathbb {R}}^2\), the \(-\partial _x\) and \(-\partial _y\) terms become 0. Therefore,
where
By Hölder’s inequality,
By definition of \(E_{f,w}^{\phi }(t)\),
Lemma 1.2 gives that
Take \(\nu = 1/r, m = 2r\). Since \(r>1\), Lemma 4.1 gives that
Similarly,
Since \(e^{\phi }>1,\) we have \(\Vert {\bar{f}}_{xx}\Vert _2\le \Vert e^{\phi }{\bar{f}}_{xx}\Vert _2.\) Hence,
Moreover, due to the fact that \(\phi \) is a monotone decreasing function in t,
Similarly, we have
Combining equations (4.24), (4.25) and (4.26), we have
Choosing \(K>0\) large enough such that
then choosing \(T>0\) small enough such that
we get
Then, we have \((f,w)\in B_{\phi ,T}^K.\)
Next, we show the mapping is contractive. Letting \((f,w) = \Psi ({\bar{f}},0) = \Psi ({\bar{V}})\), and \(({\check{f}},{\check{w}}) = \Psi (\bar{{\check{f}}},0) = \Psi (\bar{{\check{V}}}).\) Assume that \({\tilde{f}} = f-{\check{f}}, {\tilde{w}} = w-{\check{w}}, \) then \(({\tilde{f}},{\tilde{w}})\) satisfies
Similar as the above estimates, we have
On the strength of inequalities
and
together with Hölder’s inequality
and
we have
By Lemma 1.2,
Applying the Minkowski’s inequality, we obtain
By Lemma 4.1 and taking \(\nu = \frac{1}{2(r-1)}\) and \(m = 2r\), we have
Similarly, for \(\nu = 1/2\) and \(m = 2r\),
Plugging (4.32), (4.33) into (4.31), we get
Similarly, we have
Combining the above two inequalities, we obtain
On the other hand,
Since the function \(\phi \) is monotonic decreasing in t,
and
Inequalities (4.34), (4.35) and (4.36) imply that
Choose \(T>0\) small enough such that
Hence, \(\Psi \) is contractive mapping and has a unique fixed point (f, w). With expression of solution, for \(U_0 \in {\mathcal {H}},\) we have a unique classical solution U.
Finally, we prove the boundedness. Applying similar method as used in [26], we prove that for any \(t\in [0,T],T<T_{max}\),
Assume that \(V^{(0)}(t,x,y) = (f(0,x,y),0)'\) with \(V^{(0)}\in B_{\phi ,T}^K\), and define \((f^{(n)},w^{(n)})'\) satisfying
where \((f^{(n)},w^{(n)})'\) is the solution to the following equations
where
Since \(U=\left( f_{xt},-\sqrt{\frac{D}{A}}{{\tilde{\Lambda }}} f_x,f_{yt},-\sqrt{\frac{D}{A}}{{\tilde{\Lambda }}} f_y,w_t,\sqrt{K}{{\tilde{\Lambda }}}(f+w)\right) \in (C([0,T_m),L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2)))^6\) and \(f_x,f_y\in C([0,T_m),L^2({\mathbb {R}}^2))\), for any \(T<T_m\), as \(n\rightarrow \infty \), we have
where
Also,
thus, U is the weak solution of (2.2).
The above argument suggests that
Choosing \(T>0\) small enough such that
By the method used in Racke and Said–Houari [26], taking the limit for n, then
Thus, the local existence theorem is proved. \(\square \)
5 Global existence
In this section, the a priori estimate is given. Together with the local existence Theorem 4.1, we extend our local classical solution globally in time.
Lemma 5.1
Let U(t, x, y) be a local classical solution to Eq. (2.2) on \([0,T_{m})\), \(\phi (t,x,y)\) being the weight function defined as in (4.4), then for any \(t\in [0,T_{m})\),
where \(\kappa>\frac{2}{r+1},\delta >0,\) \(I_0\) is as defined in Theorem 1.1.
Proof
Multiplying the three equations in (1.4) by \(e^{2\phi }f_{xt},e^{2\phi }f_{yt}\) and \(\frac{1}{A}e^{2\phi }w_t\), respectively, and using the methods in Theorem 4.1, we have
Integrating both sides over \([0,t)\times {\mathbb {R}}^2\),
Observing that
If \(\kappa >\frac{2}{r+1}\), one has
thus for \(\delta >0\), we have
On the other hand,
Similarly, we also have
Combining the above inequalities, we obtain
By the same method mentioned above, we have
The inequality (5.3) and inequality (5.4) yield that
So, we complete the proof of Lemma 5.1. \(\square \)
Lemma 5.2
Let U(t, x, y) be a local classical solution to equations (2.2) on \([0,T_m)\) with the initial data \(U_0\), and \(\phi (t,x,y)\) be the weight function as in (4.4). Then, the following estimates hold,
where \(\zeta = \frac{3/2+\varepsilon }{r}\) and \(\varepsilon , \nu \) are small positive constants.
Proof
From the representation of solution U and Lemma 3.2, we have
Denote
Combining Lemma 3.2, we obtain
Since that
Thus,
Similarly, we have
Applying Lemma 1.1 and inequality (5.7), we obtain
where \(\zeta =\frac{{3}/{2}+\varepsilon }{r}\).
Define
For the boundedness of \(\Vert e^{-\nu \phi (\tau ,x,y)}\Vert _\infty \), we have
Thus,
Similarly, we also have
Together with inequality (5.6), we can obtain
Thus, the proof is completed. \(\square \)
The proof of Theorem 1.1
Denote
According to Lemma 5.1 and Lemma 5.2, we have
where \(\delta ,\nu >0\), \(\kappa >\frac{2}{r+1}\), \(\zeta =\frac{3/2+\varepsilon }{r}\). Taking \(m=2r\) and applying Lemma 4.1, one has
Similarly, let \(m=r+1\), \(\nu =\kappa \), then we have
The similar results are also hold for \(f_y\), we can get
Taking \(\kappa =\frac{2}{r+1}+\varepsilon _1\), where \(\varepsilon _1>0\). Since the definition of \(\theta (m)\), we choose \(\nu ,\delta ,\varepsilon >0\) and \(\varepsilon _1>0\) are small enough, such that
and
Then,
Let
then we have
If the initial data \(I_0+\Vert U_0\Vert _1+\Vert U_0\Vert _2\) are small enough, then we obtain
Since
and the monotone property of function \(\phi \), we have
Assume that \(T_m<\infty \), then the above inequality yields that
This contradicts the inequality (4.10), so we can obtain \(T_m=\infty \).
Thus, the proof of global existence Theorem 1.1 is finished. \(\square \)
