On the time decay of solutions in one-dimensional theories of porous materials

In this paper we investigate the temporal asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the one-dimensional porouselasticity problem when several damping effects are present. We show that viscoelasticity and temperature produce slow decay in time, and the same result is obtained when the porous viscosity is combined with microtemperatures. However, when the viscoelasticity is coupled with porous damping or with microtemperatures the decay is controlled by a negative exponential.
