Abstract
We deal with the as yet unresolved exponential stability problem for Beck's Problem on a metric star graph with three identical edges. The edges are stretched Euler–Bernoulli beams which are simply supported with respect to the outer vertices. At the inner vertex we have viscoelastic damping acting on the slopes of the edges. We carry out a complete spectral analysis of the system operator associated with the abstract spectral problem in Hilbert space. Within this framework it is shown that the eigenvectors have the property of forming a Riesz (i.e. an unconditional) basis, which makes it possible to directly deduce the exponential stability of the corresponding C0-semigroup using spectral information for the system operator alone. A physically interesting conclusion is that the particular choice of vertex conditions ensures the exponential stability even when the elasticity acting on the slopes of the edges is absent.
