A rate of rational decay is obtained for smooth solutions of a PDE model, which has been used in the literature to describe structural acoustic flows. This structural acoustics model is composed of two distinct PDE systems: (i) a wave equation, to model the interior acoustic flow within the given cavity Ω and (ii) a structurally damped elastic equation, to describe time-evolving displacements along the flexible portion Γ₀ of the cavity walls. Moreover, the extent of damping in this elastic component is quantified by parameter η∈[0,1]. The coupling between these two distinct dynamics occurs across the boundary interface Γ₀. Our main result is the derivation of uniform decay rates for classical solutions of this particular structural acoustic PDE, decay rates that are obtained without incorporating any additional boundary dissipative feedback mechanisms. In particular, in the case that full Kelvin–Voight damping is present in fourth-order elastic dynamics, that is, the structural acoustics system as it appears in the literature, solutions that correspond to smooth initial data decay at a rate of none">Ot−16. By way of deriving these stability results, necessary a priori inequalities for a certain static structural acoustics PDE model are generated here; these inequalities ultimately allow for an application of a recently derived resolvent criterion for rational decay.
