The paper proposes a method of preventing the loss of Euler stability by thin rods. Such rods do not have
critical forces and therefore do not lose stability from longitudinal compressive force. The method is based on a
temporary change in the stiffness of the rod-support system, in particular, a change in the length of the rod
between the supports when approaching the value of critical forces, and after passing the return to the previous
value. The results of simulation modeling of the rod behavior are presented, which confirm the possibility to
eliminate the loss of its stability with increasing compressive force to the maximum allowable value, which is
determined from the condition of strength.
