A one-dimensional initial-boundary value problem for a thermoelastic beam that is clam-
ped at one end and moves freely between two obstacles at the other, is studied using a method
of functional analysis. The boundary conditions at the free end are represented either by
classic Signorini's conditions or a normal compliance condition. The main result is that the
energy associated with the system decays exponentially as time goes to in¯nity. Numerical
examples are included.
