Re: [Algorithms] String simulation

[Andy F. <pad...@ob...>]

I'm guessing many of the search misses were about
vibrating musical strings under tension, but you might be
able to work with that well established basis of 1D of
coupling relationships between nominally unit masses
and get something out of papers on finite difference
schemes. Some of the musical stuff could inform you about 
tricks for viscous damping, boundary behaviour and other 
loss in the model.
