International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper addresses attitude stabilization of the rotational axis of an asymmetric carrying body by pendulum dampers. Steady motions in which the kinetic energy of the system takes stationary values are identified. Whether these motions are stable is established
