Dynamic Analysis of a Nonlinear Timoshenko Equation

We characterize the global and nonglobal solutions of the Timoshenko equation in a bounded domain. We consider nonlinear dissipation and a nonlinear source term. We prove blowup of solutions as well as convergence to the zero and nonzero equilibria, and we give rates of decay to the zero equilibrium...
