“…It is worth noting that systems with distributed delays arise in traffic flow models, in network control systems, in PID controller design and in other engineering applications [Bullo, Cortes and Martinez, 2009;Gu, Kharitonov and Chen, 2003;Fridman, 2014;Solomon and Fridman, 2013]. Some conditions of stability and stabilization of mechanical systems with distributed delays were obtained, for instance, in [Anan'evskii and Kolmanovskii, 1989;Pavlikov, 2007]. Let us show that the approach proposed in the previous section can be used for the stability analysis of the system (9), as well.…”
