Abstract
It is shown that the effect of dissipative and gyroscopic forces on a certain class of potential linear time-varying system differs considerably from the effect of these forces on a time-invariant system. Examples are considered. In the first of these, the equations of motion of a disk, attached to a rotating weightless elastic shaft, are investigated, taking external friction into account. The results obtained are compared with the results obtained previously by others when considering this problem. In the second example, certain problems of the stability of rotation of a Lagrange top on a base subjected to vertical harmonic vibrations are investigated.
