In this paper, we analyze the longtime behavior of the wave equation with local Kelvin-Voigt\nDamping. Through introducing proper class symbol and pseudo-diff-calculus, we obtain a Carleman\nestimate, and then establish an estimate on the corresponding resolvent operator. As a result,\nwe show the logarithmic decay rate for energy of the system without any geometric assumption on\nthe subdomain on which the damping is effective.
