Abstract

A simple physical explanation is suggested for parametric resonance caused by constrained vertical oscillations of the pivot. The phenomenon of dynamic stabilization of the inverted pendulum whose pivot is constrained to oscillate with a high frequency is considered in detail. A computer program simulating the physical system aids the analytical investigation of the subject in a manner that is mutually reinforcing.
