A technology for the creation of dynamic simulation models of liquid-propellant launch vehicles on the basis of a combined continuum rod scheme is considered. The procedure has been successfully implemented and evaluated for the Cyclone-4 launch vehicle as an example. Amplitude-frequency characteristics of the launch vehicle in different flight segments have been determined, and the obtained results have been analyzed.
