Popis: Some of the qualitative aspects of the free and forced lateral vibration of a relaxing string are investigated. First-order approximations for the amplitude and phase angle are obtained by using asymptotic methods. It is shown that the relaxing tension gives rise to what can be considered to be a time-dependent “natural frequency” and an equivalent negative damping, and can lead to a transition through “resonance” Some experimental evidence of such transitions through resonance is presented. The results obtained indicate that in most practical cases the amplitude of the forced response can be obtained with sufficient accuracy by merely substituting the variable tension into the expression for the amplitude of a string with constant tension.
