Abstract
The sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability and instability of the equilibrium position of a holonomic mechanical system acted up on by the time-dependent forces are determined. Problems of the stabil ization of the calculated motion of a gyroscopic system on a moving ba se and of the conditions of stability of the equilibrium position of a mechanical system with variable masses are solved. Some examples are considered. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
