Fourth order problems, with the differential equation y(4)-(gy')'=λ2y, where g∈ C1[0,a] and a>0, occur in engineering on stability of elastic rods. They occur as well in aeronautics to describe the stability of a flexible missile. Fourth order Birkhoff regular problems with the differential equation y(4)-(gy')'=λ2y and eigenvalue dependent boundary conditions are considered. These problems have quadratic operator representations with non self-adjoint operators. The first four terms of the asymptotics of the eigenvalues of the problems as well as those of the eigenvalues of the problem describing the stability of a flexible missile are evaluated explicitly.
