Excitation of a progressive wave in a straight and thin bar vibrating in the flexural mode can be utilized to construct a transport device such as a parts-feeder. A new method to excite the progressive wave is proposed herein which has been proved possible by simulation and experiment. Excitation of a progressive wave without utilizing the concept of impedance matching in a transmission line is done using two adjacent modes of flexural vibration.
