This paper investigates the blow-up phenomena for an inhomogeneous, strongly damped fourth-order wave equation featuring a nonlinear memory term
$$
u_{tt}(t,x) -\triangle^{2} u(t,x)- \triangle u_{t}(t,x) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(1-\alpha)} \int_{0}^{t}(t-s)^{-\alpha}|u(s,x)|^{p}ds+ \omega(x)
$$ with initial conditions $$ (u(0,x),\partial_t u(0,x))=(u_0(x),u_1(x)) $$ in \( \mathbb{R}^N ,\) where \( N\ge 1 \), \( p>1 \), \( \alpha\in(0,1) \), \( u_j\in L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^N) \) for \( j=0,1 \), and \( \omega(x)\not\equiv 0 \). By employing a special class of test functions, fractional calculus techniques, and nonlinear inequality methods, we prove that, assuming \( \omega\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^N) \) and \( \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}\omega(x)\,dx>0 \), the problem admits no global weak solution for any \( p>1 \). - References
