A viscoelastic wave equation in canonical form with weakly nonlinear time-dependent dissipation and source terms is investigated in this paper. For a wider class of relaxation functions and without imposing any restrictive growth assumption on the damping term at the origin, we establish an explicit and general energy decay rate result.
