Energy considerations in the analysis of stability of nonconservative structural systems.

Energy considerations are introduced into the analysis of discrete, linear structural systems subjected to nonconservative (circulatory) forces. Various formulations of energy balance permit to establish stability criteria and acquire further insight into several features associated with the stability of nonconservative systems, e.g., the destabilizing effect of damping and gyroscopic forces. A simple example is used to illustrate the general considerations.
