Synge's method based on the isoperimetric inequality is generalized to study panel flutter and Beck's problem with viscous damping forces. Conditions for stability are derived and also estimates of amplification rates and frequencies of oscillations. Further insight is gained into the destabilizing effect of viscous damping in nonconservative elastic systems. (Author).
