In this paper,we first establish the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions by using the semigroup method and multiplicative techniques,then further prove the existence of a uniform attractor for Timoshenko systems with Gurtin-Pipkin thermal law by using the method of uniform contractive functions.The main advantages of this method is that we need only to verify compactness condition with the same type of energy estimates as that for establishing absorbing sets.Moreover,we also investigate an alternative result of solutions to the semilinear Timoshenko systems by virtue of the semigroup method.
