Abstract: 

We consider a mechanical system consisting of two controlled masses that are attached to a movable platform via springs. We assume that at the absence of interaction the oscillations of both masses are described by the van der Pol equations. In this case, different modes of synchronous behavior of the masses are observed: in-phase (complete), anti-phase and phase locking. By the methods of qualitative and numerical analysis, the boundaries of the stability domains of these regimes are obtained.
