The dynamic response of a flexible spinning vehicle with the varying thrust was investigated. The varying thrust was modeled as a series of simple harmonic components superimposed on a constant thrust. The analytical solutions for longitudinal motion were obtained by combining the motion equations and boundary conditions, and then, the transverse bending of rocket was examined solved by considering a coupled forcing vibration with varying parameters. Numerical solutions for a rocket with end-varying thrust were studied. It is shown that the lateral vibrations and motion attitudes of rocket depend on the frequencies of varying thrust to great extent, and an important phenomenon, beating, maybe take place. The proposed approach is more accurate and efficient in comparison to those standard numerical techniques.
