This paper deals with dynamic stability of a slender launch vehicle subjected to aerodynamic loads and an end rocket thrust. The flight vehicle is simplified into a uniform free-free beam subjected to an end follower thrust. Two types of aerodynamic loads are assumed in the stability analysis. Firstly, it is assumed that two concentrated aerodynamic loads act on the flight body at its nose and tail. Secondly, to take account of effect of unsteady flow due to motion of a flexible flight body, aerodynamic load is estimated by the slender body approximation. Extended Hamilton’s principle is applied to the considered beam for deriving the equation of motion. Application of FEM yields standard eigen-value problem. Dynamic stability of the beam is determined by the sign of the real part of the complex eigen-values. If aerodynamic loads are concentrated loads that act on the flight body at its nose and tail, the flutter thrust decreases by about 10% in comparison with the flutter thrust of free-free beam subjected only to an end follower thrust. If aerodynamic loads are distributed along the longitudinal axis of the flight body, the flutter thrust decreases by about 70% in comparison with the flutter thrust of free-free beam under an end follower thrust. It is found that the flutter thrust is reduced considerably if the aerodynamic loads are taken into account in addition to an end rocket thrust in the stability analysis of slender rocket vehicle.

Dynamic stability of axially accelerated beams is investigated in this paper. The equations of motion of a fixed-free beam undergoing axially accelerated motion are derived. Unstable regions due to the acceleration are obtained by using the Floquet’s theory. Stability diagrams are presented to illustrate the influence of the acceleration characteristics. Large unstable regions of flutter type instability exist around the first, twice the first, and twice the second bending natural frequencies. Divergence type instability also occurs when the acceleration exceeds a certain value. The validity of the stability diagram is confirmed by direct numerical integration of the equations of motion.

Control of Steam-Turbine Regulators at Transition to an Island StateThe simple operating algorithm is presented for steam turbine regulators of type Simadin (Siemens) at emergency switching-off of the generator from system together with some, unknown in advance, load. The given situation is known as "a transition to an island state (regime)". Keeping of turbine speed and preservation of its rating value at a generator blackout when its own needs will be load only, is an easy problem. When the generator remains in its island it is necessary to solve "on-line" two additional problems: to reveal a situation "island" and to estimate the island load for translating a regulator on the new task and providing dynamic stability of transition. The algorithm was tried and entered successfully into practice on Varna TPP, CEZ GROUP (Prague), in 2008.
