| Abstract |
A circular system is a mechanical system subjected to
potential forces and positional nonconservative forces (circular forces). The latter linearly depend on the coordinates and are characterized by a skew-symmetric matrix. The influence of linear dissipative forces on the stability of a circular system is ambiguous: on the one hand, they can stabilize a stable circular system (making it asymptotically stable); on the other hand, they
can destabilize it [1-4]. The action of linear dissipative forces on a circular system results in the so-called
destabilization paradox: the stability threshold decreases
by a finite value.
A detailed survey of this phenomenon can be found in [5]. The destabilization effect is also preserved under the action of nonlinear dissipative forces. The influence of these forces on the stability of the Ziegler pendulum with a tracking force was studied in [6]. It was shown that the critical value of the tracking force decreases by a finite value. A similar effect was discovered in the analysis of a continual system in [7].
In the present paper, we study how nonlinear dissipative forces affect the stability of the equilibrium of a circular mechanical system with two degrees of freedom. The stability problem is solved without any references to specific mechanical systems. The results are used to analyze the stability of a gimbal gyro with allowance
for dry friction in the rotor bearings. |
