Abstract: The initial boundary value problem for a class of nonlinearly damped Petrovsky equation utt + Δ2u + a(1 + |ut|r)ut = b|u|pu in a bounded domain is studied. The existence of global solutions for this problem is proved by constructing a stable set in H2 0 (Ω), and obtain the energy decay result through the use of an important lemma of V.Komornik. Meanwhile, under the conditions of the positive initial energy, it is proved that the solution blows up in the finite time and the lifespan estimates of solutions are also given.
