Equilibrium models for the main-sequence and early post-main-sequence phases of evolution are constructed for stars of 10.9 and 15 solar masses with two different initial hydrogen and metals abundances. Carson's (1976) radiative opacities are used in the calculations. It is found that the models which lie off the zero-age main sequence have cooler effective temperatures than corresponding models based on other opacities and cross the observed Beta Cephei strip in the H-R diagram only during the main phase of core hydrogen burning. The stability of radial and nonradial pulsations is studied by applying linear nonadiabatic perturbations to the models. The results show that all the modes examined are stable and that the margin of stability decreases with advancing evolution. It is suggested that the closeness of the periods of the two lowest nonradial quadrupole p-modes may be responsible for the 'beat' phenomenon observed in many Beta Cephei stars, if these modes are somehow excited. Possible instability mechanisms are evaluated, particularly the ultimate ionization of CNO elements.
