Abstract
A stability criterion for parameter-dependent gyroscopic systems is establi shed and three examples are used to illustrate its application to typical e ngineering problems. In a ;number of practical situations, the criterion ca n be used to predict system stability with little actual computation and wi thout solving any eigenvalue problem or approximating the eigenvalue locus. Thus, the criterion provides designers with a quick and accurate tool for assessing the stability consequences of potential design changes.
