Abstract. Whenever an elastic string with fixed ends is subjected to transverse vibrations, its length varies with the time and introduces changes of the tension in the string. This motivated Kirchhoff to propose a nonlinear correction of the classical D’Alembert equation. In this paper, we prove the existence of the solution to the mixed problem for the coupled beam system of Kirchhoff type with nonlinear frictional damping and source terms. Moreover, by Nakao method we prove the uniform decay of the solution.
