In this paper we investigate the long-term behavior of the solutions of the one-dimensional porous-elasticity problem with porous dissipation and nonlinear feedback force. We prove that the porous-elasticity problem converges to a quasi-static problem for the microvoids motion as a suitable parameter J tends to zero. Finite dimensional global attractor with additional regularity in J is obtained using the recent quasi-stability theory. Finally, we compare the porous-elasticity problem with quasi-static problem, in the sense of the upper-semicontinuity of their attractors as .
For the last several decades, various types of equations have been employed as some mathematical model describing physical, chemical, biological and engineering systems. Among them, the mathematical models of vibrating, flexible structures has been considerably stimulated in recent years by an increasing number of questions of practical concern. Research on stabilization of distributed parameter systems has largely focused on the stabilization of dynamic models of individual structural members such as strings, membranes and beams (see [7] and references therein).
Elasticity problems also have attracted the attention of researchers from different fields interested in the temporal decay behavior of the solutions. This interest has given many results that can be seen in the literature. If elastic solids with voids are considered, as in this paper, one should look into the theory of porous-elastic materials. Here we deal with the theory established by Cowin and Nunziato (see [13]).
With this the mind, let us consider the evolution equations for one-dimensional theories of porous materials given by
Here T is the stress, H is the equilibrated stress and G is the equilibrated body force. The variables u and ϕ are, respectively, the displacement of the solid elastic material and the volume fraction. The constitutive equations are
Here ρ, J, μ, b, γ, δ, ξ and τ, are the constitutive coefficients whose physical meaning is well known.
The constitutive coefficients, in one-dimensional case, satisfies
As coupling is considered, b must be different from 0, but its sign does not matter in the analysis.
Substituting the constitutive equations (1.2) into the evolution equations (1.1), we arrive at
It is worth mentioning some papers in connection with the above system. In [9] A. Magaña and R. Quintanilla studied the system (1.4). They proved that the system (1.4) is exponentially stable using the semigroup arguments due to Liu and Zheng [8]. Also, they proved that when the obtained system is not exponentially stable. In [11] J. Muñoz Rivera and R. Quintanilla proved that when the energy is controlled by a rate decay of type . Moreover using a result on [14] they improved the polynomial rate of decay by taking more regular initial data. In [15], M. L. Santos et al. proved that the system (1.4) with has lack of exponential decay independent of any relation between the coefficients of wave propagation, and it decays as . In addition they also proved that this rate is optimal.
Now, setting , the above system becomes into the system
The system (1.5) was studied in [10]. There, using the energy method, the authors proved that the solutions are exponentially stable, as they were for the dynamical case. On the other hand, when the viscoelasticity is absent, but porous dissipation is present and the void motion is quasi-static, was proved in [12] that the solutions are polynomially stable.
In this present paper, we consider the nonlinear model
where is a nonlinear feedback force. The system is supplemented with the boundary conditions
and initial conditions
Our objective in the present contribution is to establish the following results:
We rigorously prove that, as , solutions of the system of the porous-elasticity (1.6)–(1.8) converges to that of the quasi-static system
with boundary conditions
and initial condition
The analysis of the above limit when is singular in the sense that at the parabolic/hyperbolic system is obtained. See Theorem 3.1.
We prove the existence of a smooth finite dimensional attractor using the recente quasi-stability theory [1,3]. We get the uniform (in J) quasi-stability by establishing a observability inequality uniformly in J. See Theorem 4.12. We also prove the quasi-stability for the system (1.9) as limit of the uniform quasi-stability of the system (1.6) as . See Remark 4.13.
We establishes the relationship between the attractors of the system of the porous-elasticity with those of the quasi-static system. More precisely, we prove the upper-semicontinuity of attractors of (1.6)–(1.8) as . See Theorem 5.1.
The main difficulty above is to obtain uniform estimates with respect to J for full trajectories from the attractor of the system of the porous-elasticity. To derive the uniform smoothness we construct a ball absorbing independent of . See Remark 4.10.
Functional setting and well-posedness
We introduce the phase space to study the well-posedness and dynamic problem (1.6). We denote the inner product and norm in by and , respectively. Let us consider the spaces
and
We define the phase space
endowed with the J-dependent norm
Taking into account that , there exists a constant such that
Using the Poincaré’s inequality and (2.3), there exists a constant such that
Concerning the nonlinear source terms we assume the following
There exist and such that
Denoting , there exists a constant such that
We denote and , then the problem (1.6) can be rewritten as a Cauchy problem
where is defined by
with domain
The function is defined by
We define, along a strong solution, the total energy by
where is defined by
Now, we need the following auxiliary result to be used in the sequel.
Assume that assumptions (A1) and (A2) hold and thatis a strong solution of (
1.6
), thenMoreover,
Applying the product in to the equations in (1.6) with and , respectively, we can deduce that (2.10) holds. It follows from (2.6) that
Hence, the first inequality in (2.11) holds. On the other hand, from assumption (2.5) and the embedding , we infer that
which implies the second inequality in (2.11). The proof is complete. □
The operatoris maximal monotone.
Let , . Then, it is straightforward see that
Therefore is monotone. In order to prove that is maximal monotone, we need to prove that . For this, it is sufficient to show that for , there exists such that , that is,
which is equivalent to

where the bilinear form and the linear form are given by
It is easy see that and are continuous, and moreover, is coercive since (2.3) implies
Thus, by Lax–Milgram Theorem, the system (2.13) has a unique weak solution which along with (2.12) implies
which implies that and satisfies . This complete the proof of the maximal monotonicity of . □
Suppose that the assumptions (A1) and (A2) hold. Then
Given, then problem (
2.7
) has a unique global weak solution satisfying. Moreover, this solution satisfies the estimate
If, then the corresponding solution is strong. Moreover, the weak solutions depend continuously on the initial datain.
We need to prove first that defined in (2.8) is locally Lipschitz in . Let us denote and such that , , where . We have from the mean value theorem and assumption (2.5) that

Therefore, is locally Lipschitz continuous on .
Since is maximal monotone and is locally Lipschitz continuous, then by [4, Theorem 7.2], for all , problem (2.7) has a unique strong solution y defined on a maximal interval with . If , then (2.7) has a unique weak solution . In addition, if , then .
Next we prove the global existence of strong solutions, that is, . From (2.10) and (2.11), we find that
which implies the global existence of strong solutions. By using density arguments, we can see that (2.17) also holds for weak solutions. This shows the global existence of weak solutions. Moreover, estimate (2.16) holds for these solutions.
Moreover, it is not difficult to check that for any , , the corresponding global solutions , satisfy
for all , where is a constant depending on the norms of and T. Moreover, (2.18) implies the continuous dependence of the weak solution on the initial data. The proof is complete. □
To study the quasi-static problem (1.9)–(1.11), we consider the Hilbert space
endowed with the norm
In this case, the same argument used in the proof of Theorem 2.3 shows that the quasi-static problem (1.9)–(1.11) is well-posed in the phase space .
Now, we define the total energy of solutions of the quasi-static problem (1.9)–(1.11) by
where is the energy defined by
By Theorem 2.3 the problem of the porous-elasticity (1.6)–(1.8) generates the dynamical system with the phase space given in (2.2) and the associated semigroup given by
where is a weak solution to (1.6)–(1.8). Similarly, it follows from Remark 2.4 that we can define the dynamical system with given in (2.19) and given by
where solves the quasi-static problem (1.9)–(1.11).
Asymptotic limit as
In this section, we study the asymptotic limit of the system of the porous-elasticity (1.6)–(1.8) as . The main result of this section is stated as follows.
Suppose that assumptions (A1) and (A2) hold. Letbe a weak solution to (
1.6
) with initial condition. Then for any, as, we havewhereis a weak solution to quasi-static problem (
1.9
).
Using the estimate (2.16), we deduce
where the constant independe of . Then, using (2.3) and (3.1), we obtain that
Extracting subsequences, without changing notation, one gets
Now, using a compactness theorem due to Aubin and Lions (see, e.g. [16], Corollary 4), we obtain
for all small enough. Combining (3.7) with (2.5), it follows that
Moreover, using (3.6) we get
Then, it remains to show that is a weak solution to quasi-static problem (1.9)–(1.11). Indeed, first note that the variational formulation of problem (1.6)–(1.8) is given by
for all and . Using convergences (3.2)–(3.5), (3.8) and (3.9) in equation (3.10), one obtains the weak formulation of the system (1.9)–(1.11) given by
for all and . Thus to conclude the proof of we only need to show that the . It follows from (3.7) that and . In order to identify , multiply both sides of (3.10) by the teste function with and , and integrate by parts over to obtain
Taking the limit as , we obtain
On the other hand, multiplying (3.11) by θ and integrating the result over , we obtain
Combining (3.12) and (3.13) we conclude that . The proof is complete. □
Global attractors
Attractors for quasi-stable dissipative systems. Abstract results
In this subsection, we present some definitions related to global attractors for quasi-stable systems that can be found in recent references such as [1,3]. A dynamical system is a pair , where H is a Banach space and is a continuous semigroup defined on H. We recall that a set is a global attractor for if it is compact, invariant, that is, for all , and uniformly attracting, that is,
for any bounded set , where is the Hausdorff semi-distance in H.
As is well known in the literature, the existence of a global attractor is granted under suitable dissipativeness and compactness conditions. A dynamical system is called dissipative if it admits a bounded absorbing set, that is, a bounded set such that, for any bounded set , there exists a time satisfying
A dynamical system is called asymptotically smooth if, for any bounded set forward-invariant , there exists a compact set that uniformly attracts B. Then we have the following classical result (see [1,3]).
Letbe a dynamical system dissipative and asymptotically smooth. Then it possesses a unique compact global attractor.
To obtain the asymptotically smooth property, we shall introduce the concept of quasi-stability [3, Chapter 7, Definition 7.9.2].
Let X, Y and Z be three reflexive Banach spaces with X compactly embedded in Y. We consider the space with the norm
The trivial case is allowed. We assume that the dynamical system is given by
where the functions ξ and φ possess the properties
The dynamical system is called quasi-stable on a set if there exists a compact seminorm on the space X and nonnegative scalar functions a and c, locally bounded in , and , with , such that
and
for any . Here we denote , .
The following result, which can be found in [3, Proposition 7.9.4], show that the quasi-stability implies the asymptotic smoothness of the dynamical system.
Letbe a dynamical system given by (
4.1
) and satisfying (
4.2
). Thenis asymptotically smooth if it is quasi-stable on every bounded positively invariant set of H.
The fractal dimension of a compact set M in H is defined by
where is the minimal number of closed balls of radius ϵ which cover M.
The quasi-stability also implies the smoothness and finite dimensionality of the attractor (see [3, Theorems 7.9.6 and 7.9.8]).
Letbe a dynamical system given by (
4.1
) and satisfying (
4.2
). Suppose that it has a global attractor. Ifis quasi-stable on, then we have:
The global attractorhas finite fractal dimension.
If the coefficientin (
4.4
) is uniformly bounded, then any full trajectoryinhas the following regularity properties (in time)Moreover, there existssuch thatwhere R depends on the constant.
The next theorem concerns global attractors for the dynamical system given in (2.22).
Assume that assumptions (
2.5
) and (
2.6
) are satisfied. Then,
Global attractors: The dynamical systempossesses a global attractor.
Finite-dimensionality: The global attractorhas finite fractal dimensionwith upper bound independent of.
Regularity: The global attractoris bounded inwith a bound independent of. Moreover, every full trajectoryfrom the attractor satisfiesandwhere the constantis independent of.
The proof of Theorem 4.6 is based on the recente quasi-stability theory by Chueschov and Lasiecka [1,3]. We first prove that the corresponding system is quasi-stable on a absorbing ball in the sense of Definition 4.2, and then we apply the Theorems 4.1 and 4.5.
We emphasize that the dissipativity and quasi-stability estimates of our problem are obtained uniformly with respect to parameter .
Uniform dissipativity as
In this section, we construct a absorbing ball uniformly with respect to by using the standard Lyapunov’s method.
Suppose that hypotheses of Theorem
4.6
hold, then there exists a positive constant ω independent ofsuch that the energy functiondefined by (
2.9
) verifies
As a limit of (4.8) when , we obtain the stability of the total energy holds for associated to the quasi-static problem (1.9) defined by (2.20), that is,
Note also that, for , the energy decays exponentially as , that is,
Moreover, if the source term , then the exponential decay (4.10) holds for given by (2.21). This is in agreement with the results from Magaña and Quintanilla [10, Theorem 2.2] in the sense that the same decay rate for the solutions of the linear system with quasi-static microvoids was obtained.
For an arbitrary , define the perturbed energy
where Φ is the functional
We first claim that there exists is a constant independent of such that
Indeed, using Young’s inequality, (2.3) and (2.11), we have
with independent of . Therefore, taking , we conclude that (4.12) holds.
Now, multiplying the equations in (1.6) by u and ϕ, respectively, we find that
Subtracting and adding , we get
Using the assumption (2.6) and Poincaré’s inequality, we find that
where is the Poincaré’s constant. Using (2.10), (4.14), we obtain
Thus, taking
we conclude that
On account of second inequality in (4.12), we have
Thus, the Gronwall’s lemma yields
By using (4.12) again, we arrive at (4.8). The proof is complete. □
Combining the stability inequality (4.8) with energy estimate (2.11), we see that given ,
Therefore, any closed ball in of center zero and radius is a absorbing set absorbing set for the system uniformly with respect to .
As a consequence of inequality (4.9), we see that the in of center zero and radius is a absorbing for the system .
Uniform quasi-stability as
In this subsection, we prove the uniform quasi-stability for the dynamical system on any forward-invariant bounded set B of . We get the quasi-stability on B by establishing a observability inequality uniformly in . We also prove the quasi-stability for the dynamical system as limit of the uniform quasi-stability of the dynamical system as .
The dynamical systemcorresponding to problem (
1.6
)–(
1.8
) is quasi-stable on any forward-invariant bounded set ofuniformly with respect to.
We start by considering the difference of two strong solutions to (1.6), . Thus, taking the notation
we obtain the system
with boundary conditions
and initial condition
Now, on every bounded positively invariant set B of , we have
Multiplying the equations in (4.16) by u and ϕ, respectively, yields
Let us estimate the right side of (4.19). Using Hölder and Young inequalities and (2.4), we deduce that
for some constante independent of . Thus, there exists a constant , independent of , such that
Using Young’s inequality, we find for any ,
Using (2.5) and the embedding , we obtain that
Inserting the estimates (4.20)–(4.22) into (4.19) and choosing small enough, we conclude that there exist constants and independently of such that
Using the Poincaré’s inequality, we deduce that
Next, we use the multiplies and in (4.16) to obtain
Using (2.5), we have for any ,
Now use (4.24) and (4.25) to get
Next, we combine estimates (4.23) and (4.26) for small enough to obtain
Now, integrate the energy equality (4.24) with respect to s so that
Thus, by estimate (4.25), the following is immediate
Inserting the estimate (4.27) into (4.28) yields
for some constants independent of . We choose to deduce that
where
By using a standard argument as in [2, p.100]), we conclude that there exist independent of such that
and thereby is quasi-stable on B uniformly with respect to . The proof is complete. □
As a limit of (4.30) when , we obtain the following quasi-stability estimate for the dynamical system : For any bounded positively invariant set of , there exist such that
(1) From Theorem 4.12 the system is quasi-stable and consequently it is asymptotically smooth by Theorem 4.3. Thus, since is also dissipative by Lemma 4.10, the existence of a unique compact global attractor is established by Theorem 4.1.
(2) From Theorem 4.5(i), we know that the attractor has finite fractal dimension. Since the quasi-stability is uniform in , Remark 7.9.7 in [3] shows that the finite fractal dimension is independent on .
(3) Let be a full trajectory in . Since the bounded absorbing set given in Remark 4.10 is uniform with respect to J we conclude that
for some constant independent of . Thus, the uniform estimate of the sup in (4.6) is obtained. The finiteness of the dissipation integral in (4.6) follows by (2.16).
Now, since the coeficiente in (4.30) is independent of , by Theorem 4.5(ii) there exists a constant independent of such that
Using the equations in (1.6), we have
Thus, using the first equation in (4.34), uniform estimates (4.32)–(4.33) and the fact that is locally Lipschitz continuous, we conclude that
with independent of . On the other hand, second equality in (4.34) and estimates (4.32)–(4.33) yields that
with independent of . Now, using (4.33), (4.35) and (4.36) we conclude that (4.7) holds. Finally, since the global attractor is the set of all bounded full trajectories, we see that is bounded in . This ends the proof of Theorem 4.6. □
Concerning global attractors for the quasi-static problem (1.9)–(1.11) we have the following result.
Global attractors: The dynamical systempossesses a global attractor.
Finite-dimensionality: The global attractorhas finite fractal dimension.
Regularity: The global attractoris bounded inMoreover, every full trajectoryfrom the attractor satisfiesandfor some constant.
The argument is the same as in the proof of Theorem 4.6 by taking into account the Remarks 4.11 and 4.13. The proof is complete. □
Upper semicontinuity of the attractor as
In this section, we are interested in the convergence of the attractor of the system of the porous-elasticity (1.6) to the attractor of the quasi-static system (1.9) when . The main result of this section reads as follows.
The global attractoris upper semicontinuous as, that is,whereandHere,is the global attractor for the dynamical systemgenerated by the quasi-static problem (
1.9
)–(
1.11
).
As in [5,6] we apply standard contradiction argument. Indeed, assume that (5.1) is not valid. Then there exist sequences and such that
Let be a full trajectory in the attractor such that . It follows from (4.6), (4.7) and Aubin–Lions theorem (see, e.g. [16], Corollary 4) that the sequence is relatively compact in the space for every . Thus, there exists
such that, up to a subsequence,
Moreover, using (4.6), we deduce that
It follows from estimate (4.7) that
Using the same argument as in Theorem 3.1, we can pass to the limit in the variational form of problem (1.6)–(1.8) to see that is a strong solution to quasi-static problem (1.9). Moreover, uniform estimates in (4.6) and (4.7) imply that
It follows that is a bounded full trajectory for the system (1.9). Thus, and since
we deduce by (5.3) that
which is impossible by (5.2). The proof is complete now. □
