Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the damped linear system $u_{t t}(t)+Au(t)+Bu_t(t)=0, t\geq 0$ in the context of Hilbert spaces. We present abstract theorems on the decay rate, moreover an adequate example is presented to illustrate these results.

Keywords:  Decay rate, asymptotic behavior, $C_0$-semigroups.
