I'm doing a project on a vibrating guitar string and I have completed all the simulation and experimental work, but I do not fully understand the theory behind it. I need to derive the 1 dimensional case of the wave equation, as the 1 dimensional case is considered to be the most convenient approach for a wire string due to the fact that its diameter is almost negligible relative to its length. So it is basically treated as a line segment in the theoretical analysis. However, I do not know how to take the generalised form of the wave equation and apply it to this 1 dimensional problem. Anyone have any experience in this area? Thanks very much.
