Abstract
This paper is devoted to the study of a semilinear problem describing the downward displacement of a suspension bridge in the presence of a hanger restoring force h(u), an external force fwhich includes gravity, and a delay term which accounts for its history. The goal is to establish a well-posedness result and the existence of a finite-dimensional global attractor. (C) 2016 Academie des sciences. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
