Abstract: The stability of the trivial equilibrium position of certain classes of mechanical systems with time-varying delay is studied. The considered systems are described by the second order differential equations in the Lagrange form. It is assumed that velocity forces are linear, whereas for positional forces both linear case and essentially nonlinear one are investigated. On the basis of the decomposition method, sufficient conditions of the asymptotic stability of the equilibrium position are found. It is shown that the proposed approach can be used for the stability analysis of hybrid mechanical systems with switched positional forces. Three examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
