# Decay rates for Kirchhoff-Timoshenko transmission problems

• A linear transmission problem for a thermoelastic Timoshenko beam model with Fourier low of heat conduction which has a Kirchhoff part with hereditary heat conduction of Gurtin-Pipkin type is considered. We prove that the system is exponentially stable under certain conditions on its parameters. The same result for the problem with purely elastic Kirchhoff part is obtained.
