On the effect of gyroscopic forces on the instability of certain fluid-elastic systems. Part 1: Definitions
Abstract
This study was motivated by work on the stability of nonconservative elastic systems and flutter of certain fluid-elastic systems. A literature review revealed that the concepts of conservative forces (and systems) and gyroscopic forces (and systems) need clarifications, and the definitions formulated by different authors for the forces and systems are sometimes conflicting. In this report, these controversies are thoroughly discussed and conservative and gyroscopic systems are redefined within the framework of the classical dynamics of a system of particles.
