Abstract
Mechanical system and electrical circuit models represented by the matrix quadratic are considered. Parameter variations which may be due to modelling uncertainties or coefficient adjustments are incorporated. The characteristic-zero excursions induced by modelling changes are investigated. A typical application where the frictional dampers can be adjusted to provide efficient oscillatory regulation is outlined.
