Abstract: | A “two time scale” asymptotic expansion procedure describing the modulation of a propagating simple wave governed by a system of non-linear partial differential equations is applied to the deflection waves of non-linear elastic strings. Rapid deflection signals propagating into a general slowly varying disturbance are modulated. In addition, they themselves affect the equations for that disturbance. The two effects are separated naturally when, to prevent the cumulative growth inherent in most “high frequency” procedures, an averaging technique is introduced. The interaction of two deflection waves is given as a specific example. |
