Abstract
In this paper we consider a transmission problem for the wave equations with past history and acoustic boundary conditions, involving two distinct domains connected through a common interface. The frictional dampings are only distributed in a small neighbourhood of the interface. Under some geometric conditions, we obtain the energy decays at the rate quantified by the solution to a certain nonlinear ODE dependent on the damping terms. Our method is based on using appropriate weighted multipliers to establish the necessary observability inequality that allows to obtain the energy estimate.
