We prove the exis- tence and uniqueness of global solutions under non-linear boundary conditions which the model is added one damping mechanism at l end. What is more, we also prove the exponential decay property of the energy of above mentioned sys- tem. Keywords: Kirchhoff-Type Beam; Non-Linear Boundary; Global Solutions; Exponential Decay 1.

One of the first mathematical analysis for the equation was set up by Ball [7], who presented the existence and uniqueness of solution under linear boundary conditions. However the global solution and exponential decay for the more general beam equation is open under nonlinear boundary conditions. In the present work, we are con- cerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions and the exponential decay property of energy on the nonlinear beam equation with external lo
