Stabilization against gravity and self-tuning of an elastic variable-length rod through an oscillating sliding sleeve

Submitted by Francesco Dal Corso on

Is it possible to prevent the fall of a rod inside a sliding sleeve due to gravity?

By controlling the transverse oscillations of the constraint and revealing a novel self-tuning dynamic response, we provide a positive answer to this question in our paper:
