Abstract: A conjecture of Renshaw and Mote concerning gyroscopic systems with parameters predicts the eigenvalue locus in the neighborhood of a double-zero eigenvalue. In the present paper, this conjecture ...

Abstract: Gyroscopic systems considered here have the form Aÿ + Gẏ + Ky = 0 where A, G, K are real n × n matrices with A > O, GT = −G, KT = K, and the stiffness matrix K has some ...

Abstract: A stability criterion for parameter-dependent gyroscopic systems is established and three examples are used to illustrate its application to typical engineering problems. In a number of practical ...
