Mathematical Analysis of a Vibrating Wire
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the vibration of a wire by incorporating resistance to bending into the model leading to the string equation. Included here is a derivation of a fourth order, partial differential equation of motion for the wire, the analytical solution of the equation, a record of my attempts to experimentally verify the solution, and conclusions as to its value.
