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:

Mitigating Oblique Impacts by Unraveling of Buckled Carbon Nanotubes in Helmet Liners

Submitted by Ramathasan The… on

Abstract

 

Background: Helmet systems most commonly experience oblique blunt impacts which cause simultaneous linear and rotational accelerations. The ability to attenuate both linear and rotational accelerations by absorbing the normal shock while accommodating large shear deformations with energy dissipation is critical to developing superior helmet liners that prevent traumatic brain injury (TBI).
