This paper describes how pure
travelling waves in cascaded, lumped, uniform, mass-spring systems can be
defined, established, and maintained, by controlling two boundary actuators,
one at each end. In most cases the ...
A new method is presented to determine the mode shapes and frequencies of uniform systems consisting of chains of masses and springs of arbitrary number with arbitrary boundary conditions. Instead of the classical eigenproblem ...
A companion paper in
this conference considers travelling and standing waves in cascaded, lumped,
mass-spring systems, controlled by two boundary actuators, one at each end,
when the system is uniform. It first proposes ...

This paper considers cascaded, lumped, flexible systems, which may be short and non-uniform, which are driven by an arbitrarily moving boundary. Such systems exhibit vaguely wavelike behaviour yet defy classical wave ...
