Landau's Books - Vibration - flexible string

In summary, the conversation is about the availability of information on flexible strings in Landau's books. The speaker has checked the index and table of contents but could not find anything substantial. However, they mention that the book "Fetter and Walecka" has a chapter on the topic.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if i can find in any of the Landau's books a chapter ,part concerning the flexible string ( differential equation , normal modes , stading waves ) ? I have tried to see but i can't find anything . There is a chapter concerning sound waves in a medium ( volume fluid mechanics ) but nothing about flexible string ?
Thank you for your answers

Best regards ,
Diamon
