Attractors for weakly damped beam equations with $p$-Laplacian

This paper is concerned with a class of weakly damped one-dimensional beam equations with lower order perturbation of $p$-Laplacian type $$ u_{tt} + u_{xxxx} - (\sigma(u_x))_x + ku_t + f(u)= h \quad \hbox{in} \quad (0,L) \times \mathbb{R}^{+} , $$ where $\sigma(z)=|z|^{p-2}z$, $p \ge 2$, $k>0$ and $f(u)$ and $h(x)$ are forcing terms. Well-posedness, exponential stability and existence of a finite-dimensional attractor are proved.
