Small stochastic oscillations of viscoelastic structural members are described by linear integro-differential equations with random coefficients. Almost sure stability of the zero solution of these equations is studied by using the Laplace transform technique under the assumption that the coefficien

β¦ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with the problem of the stability of the motion of viscoelastic columns subjected to a longitudinal force. This force is a random wide-band stationary process. The relaxation kernels of the column's material are represented by the sums of exponents. The column is simply supported at the ends and perturbation of the initial conditions is assumed in the form of one half-wave of a sine function. The application of Liapunov's direct method to the indicated problem is considered. Sufficient conditions for almost sure stability conditions are obtained for both elastic and viscoelastic columns.

Instability behaviour of a gyropendulum subjected to white noise vertical support motion is examined. Conditions for almost-sure asymptotic stability are obtained explicitly. A stochastic averaging procedure is employed to evaluate the maximal Lyapunov exponent. The sign of this exponent determines
