Global attractors for the coupled suspension bridge system with temperature

This paper deals with the longterm properties of the thermoelastic nonlinear string-beam system related to the well-known Lazer-McKenna suspension bridge model. In particular no mechanical dissipation occurs in the equations, since the loss of energy is entirely due to thermal effects. The existence of regular global attractors for the associated solution semigroup is proved for time-independent supplies and any axial load
