In this paper, we consider a class of Kirchhoff equation, in the presence of a Kelvin-Voigt type damping and a source term of general nonlinearity forms. Where the studied equation is given as follows

\begin{equation*}u_{tt} -\mathcal{K}\left( \mathcal{N}u(t)\right)\left[   \Delta_{p(x)}u +\Delta_{r(x)}u_{t}\right]=\mathcal{F}(x, t, u).\end{equation*}

Here, $\mathcal{K}\left( \mathcal{N}u(t)\right)$ is a Kirchhoff function, $\Delta_{r(x)}u_{t}$ represent a Kelvin-Voigt strong  damping term, and $\mathcal{F}(x, t, u)$ is a source term. According to an appropriate assumption, we obtain the local existence of the weak solutions by applying the Galerkin's approximation method. Furthermore, we prove a non-global existence result for certain solutions with negative/positive initial energy. More precisely, our aim is to find a sufficient conditions for $p(x), q(x), r(x), \mathcal{F}(x,t,u)$ and the initial data for which the blow-up occurs.
