If you have a spring mass damper system, given by m*x_double_dot + c*x_dot + kx = 0 where m, c, k (all positive scalars) are the mass, damper coefficient, and spring coefficient, respectively. x ∈ R represents the displacement of the mass.
Let us then discuss the stability of the system by using Lyapunov stability theorem. Consider the system energy as a candidate Lyapunov function shown in the image.
Discuss the positive definiteness of V (x, x_dot).
Derive the Lyapunov rate of this system (i.e., V_dot ), and discuss the stability property of thesystem based on the information we gain from ̇V_dot .
In class, two approaches—Theorems 1 and 2 below—are discussed to prove asymptotic stability of asystem when ̇V = 0.
Show the asymptotic stability of the system given in Eq. (1) by applying Theorem 1.
Show the asymptotic stability of the system given in Eq. (1) by applying Theorem 2.

The pin acts as a moment release, i.e. no moments are transferred through this pinned connection. Shear forces can be transferred through the pinned connection. Beam ABC has a pinned support at point A and a roller support at Point C. Beam CD has a roller support at Point D. A concentrated load, P, is applied to the mid span of beam CD, and acts at an angle as shown below. Two concentrated moments, MB and Mc act in the directions shown at Point B and Point C respectively. The magnitude of these moments is PL.
