Long-time behavior of a class of thermoelastic plates with nonlinear strain.

In recent years a class of vibrating plates with nonlinear strain of p -Laplacian type was studied by several authors. The present paper contains a first thermoelastic model of that class of problems including both Fourier and non-Fourier heat laws. Our main result establishes the existence of global and exponential attractors for the strongly damped problem through a stabilizability inequality. In addition, for the weakly damped problem, we establish the exponential stability of its Galerkin semiflows. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
