the study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. a number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. the main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...

In this paper we develop an efficient numerical method for the finite-element model updating of damped gyroscopic systems based on incomplete complex modal measured data. It is assumed that the analytical mass and stiffness matrices are correct and only the damping and gyroscopic matrices need to be updated. By solving a constrained optimization problem, the optimal corrected symmetric damping ...

Here, gyroscopic systems are time-invariant systems for which motions can be characterized by properties of a matrix pencil L(λ) = λ2I + λG − C, where GT = −G and C > 0. A strong stability condition is known which depends only on |G| (= (GT G)1/2 ≥ 0) and C. If a system with coefficients G0 and C satisfies this condition then all systems with the same C and with a G satisfying |G| ≥ |G0| are al...

This paper extends the λ-method, which was developed in (Auckly et al., 2000; Auckly and Kapitanski, 2003) to solve effectively PDE’s involved in the method of controlled Lagrangian systems, by taking into account a gyroscopic term. The gyroscopic force provides more free parameters when one designs stabilizing controllers in the method of controlled Lagrangian systems. We illustrate the extend...

in this paper, a theorem is derived for the existence of a common quadratic Lyapunov function for stability analysis of linear gyroscopic dynamic systems. A new method based on stochastic stability. In this paper we study the stochastic stability properties of linear gyroscopic dynamic systems.
