A shift-invariant set of N mutually (nearest-neighbour or all-to-all) coupled moving coil electromechanical devices is analytically and numerically investigated. The study of the stability of synchronization process is undertaken using the master stability function (MSF) approach. The emanating properties of this method make it possible to have a general study of the network dynamics, and to explain de-synchronization phenomena appearing in the synchronization stability parametric areas. A detailed attention is paid to the effects of the dissipative component of the dispersive–dissipative coupling tested here.
