1. Introduction Modern launch vehicles are increasingly large, lightweight, and structurally flexible to maximize payload fraction. Unlike rigid rockets, flexible rockets exhibit significant elastic deformations during flight (bending, torsion, and longitudinal vibrations). These deformations couple with the rigid-body dynamics (translation and rotation) and the control system, potentially leading to instability or structural failure.
