Abstract
Using a Lyapunov-type approach, a simple sufficient stability conditio n for linear conservative gyroscopic systems with negative definite st iffness matrix is derived. The condition is nonspectral; it involves o nly the definiteness of certain combinations of the system's coefficie nt matrices.
