Abstract:In this paper, we initiate the study of wave propagation in a recently proposed mathematical model for stretch-limited elastic strings. We consider the longitudinal motion of a simple class of uniform, semi-infinite, stretch-limited strings under no external force with finite end held fixed and prescribed tension at the infinite end. We study a class of motions such that the string has one inextensible segment, where the local stretch is maximized, and one extensible segment. The equations of motion reduce to … Show more
