LONGITUDINAL OSCILLATIONS OF NONLINEAR ONE-DIMENSIONAL SYSTEMS UNDER DISTURBANCES SPREADING ALONG THEIR LENGTHS

A system of solid bodies is considered, connected by deformable elements in a one-dimensional chain. The disturbance is propagated with constant velocity along the length of the chain. The dependence between the force and the deformation of the connecting element is assumed to be ambiguous; therefore, additional conditions are to be prescribed. A numerical solution is obtained for the case of railroad train braking. Using a digital computer, the dependence is investigated between the transient process and the initial state of the system, the number of the masses and the magnitude of the gaps in the connecting elements. A comparison with experiments shows that the mathematical model satisfactorily reflects the processes that take place in real conditions.
