Long-Time Behavior for a Thermoelastic Microbeam Problem with Time Delay and the Coleman-Gurtin Thermal Law

This study addresses long-time behavior for a thermoelastic microbeam problem with time delay and the Coleman-Gurtin thermal law, the convolution kernel of which entails an extremely weak dissipation in the thermal law. By using the semigroup theory, we first establish the existence of global weak and strong solutions as well as their continuous dependence on the initial data in appropriate function spaces, under suitable assumptions on the weight of time delay term, the external force term and the nonlinear term. We then prove that the system is quasi-stable and has a gradient on bounded variant sets, and obtain the existence of a global attractor whose fractal dimension is finite. A result on the exponential attractor of the system is also proved.
