Abstract: We consider dynamics of the one-dimensional Mindlin-Timoshenko model for beams with a nonlinear external forces and a boundary damping mechanism. We investigate existence and uniqueness of strong and weak solution. We also study the boundary stabilization of the solution, i.e., we prove that the energy of every solution decays exponentially as $t\rightarrow\infty$.
