%0 Journal Article %T Loss of exponential stability for a thermoelastic system with memory %A Bruno Ferreira Alves %A Waldemar Donizete Bastos %A Carlos Alberto Raposo %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2010 %I Texas State University %X In this article we study a thermoelastic system considering the linearized model proposed by Gurtin and Pipkin [8] instead of the Fourier's law for the heat flux. We use theory of semigroups [9, 11] combining Pruss' Theorem [10] and the idea developed in [5] to show that the system is not exponentially stable. %K Heat conduction with memory %K C_0-semigroup %K decay of solutions %K thermoelastic system %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2010/132/abstr.html
