In this paper, we consider a variable-coefficient linear thermoelastic system with interior localized damping and dynamic Wentzell boundary conditions with delay. The model describes the interaction between the mechanical displacement u and temperature θ, and is subject to dynamic Wentzell-type boundary conditions. Our main result demonstrates that this internal damping, localized on a subset ω ⊂ Ω, where a(x) ≥ a0 > 0 over ω ⊂ Ω, is sufficient to achieve exponential stabilization of the entire system. To establish the well-posedness of the system, we apply semigroup theory. Then, by combining the multiplier method and the Riemannian geometry approach, we derive suitable energy estimates and prove the exponential decay of energy. The stability result highlights the interplay between interior damping, boundary feedback, and the delay term, and provides a meaningful extension of existing stabilization results for thermoelastic systems.
