We prove that the system is exponentially stable by using the energy method that requires constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional through exploiting the multipliers method. Furthermore, the result does not depend on any condition on the coefficients of the system. Finally, we validate our theoretical result by performing some numerical approximations based on the standard finite elements method, by using the backward Euler scheme for the temporal and spatial discretization.enExponential decay and numerical solution of nonlinear Bresse-Timoshenko system with second soundArticle
