Abstract: We show that the solutions of a system in elasticity theory with a nonlinear localized dissipation decay in an algebraic rate to zero, that is, denoting by $E(t)$ the total energy associated to the system, there exist positive constants $C$ and $\gamma$ satisfying: $$ E(t)\leq CE(0)\,(1+t)^{-\gamma }. $$

Keywords: nonlinear localized dissipation; algebraic decay; uniform stabilization.

Classification (MSC2000): 35B40,35L05, 35L70.
