Abstract

The coupled nonlinear wave equations of a rubber like perfectly elastic string are derived, damping is included. The free vibrations are studied in order to get free of some limitations of single mode models. The two perpendicular polarizations of transverse oscilations in a string are shown to be coupled through the longitudinal oscillations. We observe a strong parametric generation of a second transverse spatial mode caused by transverse and longitudinal mode coupling.
