Abstract

In this paper, we consider the nonlinearly damped nonlinear coupled wave and Petrovsky system

$$\begin{aligned}&u'' + \Delta ^{2} u+ av + g_{1}(u')=f_{1}(u,v), \\&v'' - \Delta v+ au + g_{2}(v')=f_{2}(u,v). \end{aligned}$$

We prove the global existence of solutions by means of the stable set method in \(H_{0}^{2}(\Omega )\times H^1_0(\Omega )\) combined with the Faedo–Galerkin procedure. Furthermore, we establish a more general energy decay of solutions when the nonlinear dissipative terms \(g_{1},g_{2}\) do not necessarily have a polynomial growth near the origin.
