Abstract—A method is proposed for transforming a mechanical system described by arbitrary generalized coordinates into a system described by primary coordinates. To this end, an elastic element with negative rigidity is introduced. As a result, the vibrational motion is divided into two components; the maximum vibrational frequency is decreased; and the vibrational protection of the system is improved.
