Transmission line based struck string model

The analogy of a vibrating string to an electrical transmission line with the correspondences of the displacement to the voltage and the rigid end to the short circuit and the calculations for the hammer-string force in the well known finite difference form of the wave equation for a struck string are applied to build a transmission line based struck string model. The proposed model is validated by showing that the displacements and the forces exerted on the string at the contact with a hammer from the proposed model are consistent with those from the finite difference form.
