Dynamic stability of cantilevered timoshenko columns subjected to a rocket thrust

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic stability of cantilevered Timoshenko columns subjected to a rocket thrust is described, and it is assumed that the thrust force is produced by the installation of a solid rocket motor to the tip end of the column.

A finite element method for non‐self‐adjoint problems

TL;DR: In this article, the Galerkin method is applied to the problem of non-self-adjoint problems with the principle of minimum potential energy (MTE). But the method is not suitable for the case of the two-group neutron diffusion equations.
