Abstract

With Eqs. (9.12) and (9.13), we have a general system of equations of motion of the form

$$\begin{aligned} {\varvec{M}}\ddot{\varvec{u}}+{\varvec{D}}\dot{\varvec{u}}+{\varvec{S}}{\varvec{u}}=\mathbf{0}. \end{aligned}$$

Notes

  1. 1.

    Adolf Hurwitz (1859–1919) was inspired by Aurel B. Stodola (1859–1942) to develop criteria for the stability of equations of motion. The Hurwitz criterion was published in 1895.
