Modeling of wave propagation in one-dimension structures using B-spline wavelet on interval finite element

► Wave propagation in 1D structure is simulated using B-spline wavelet on interval finite element (BSWI). ► BSWI finite element can give a high accurate and effective solution for wave propagation problems. ► The influence of crack for wave propagation in 1D structure is presented. ► It is found that the influence of elastic foundation for wave propagation can be neglected.
