We consider the Cauchy problem for plate equations with rotational inertia and frictional damping terms. We derive asymptotic profiles of the solution in [Formula: see text]-sense as [Formula: see text] in the case when the initial data have high and low regularity, respectively. Especially, in the low regularity case of the initial data one encounters the regularity-loss structure of the solutions, and the analysis is more delicate. We employ the so-called Fourier splitting method combined with the explicit formula of the solution (high-frequency estimates) and the method due to [R. Ikehata, Asymptotic profiles for wave equations with strong damping, J. Differential Equations 257 (2014) 2159–2177.] (low-frequency estimates). In this paper, we will introduce a new threshold [Formula: see text] on the regularity of the initial data that divides the property of the corresponding solution to our problem into two parts: one is wave-like, and the other is parabolic-like.
