We consider a chain of Euler-Bernoulli beams with spatial dependent mass density, modulus of elasticity and area moment which are interconnected in dissipative or conservative ways and prove uniform exponential energy decay of the coupled system for suitable dissipative boundary conditions at one end and suitable conservative boundary conditions at the other end. We thereby generalise some results of G. Chen, M.C. Delfour, A.M. Krall and G. Payre from the 1980’s to the case of spatial dependence of the parameters.
