Abstract: A viscoelastic beam in a two-dimensional space is considered with nonlinear tension. A boundary feedback is applied at the right boundary of the beam to suppress the undesirable vibration. The well-posedness of the problem is established. With the multiplier method, a uniform decay result is proven.

Key words: secondary instabilities, large scale structure, bifurcation, viscoelastic beam, Lyapunov functional, two-dimensional space, exponential decay, nonlinear tension
