Received on August 28, 2007; Revision received February 12, 2009. In this work, we consider a quasi-linear plate model with boundary memory damping. We prove that this system has a unique global solution when the initial data are small enough and the non-linear coefficient function, the memory damping as well as the geometry of the domain satisfy suitable assumptions. We also prove the exponential decay of the energy of the system.
Keywords: global solution; quasi-linear system; boundary memory damping; exponential stability.
