This paper is concerned with the long time behavior of one-dimensional dissipativewave equation with $x$-dependent coefficients $u(x)y_{tt}-(u(x)y_x)_x+a(x)y_t=0$. Such a model arises from the vibrations of an inhomogeneous string and the propagationof seismic waves in nonisotropic media subject to a viscous damping. Meanwhile, it is also a natural reduction model for the $n$-dimensional wave equation in inhomogeneous radially symmetric media.By using the multiplier method, we establish the power decay estimates for the energy and the $L^2$-norm of solutions.
