Abstract
A general approach to the analysis of mechanical systems and structures where large parameter variations occur is outlined. Aircraft and missile problems where there are acknowledged changes in the system model coefficients are identified. Performance variations associated with operational conditions are investigated. Simple solutions to the determinantal equation are proposed.
