Abstract

The problem of kinematic disturbance propagation in the linear statically determinate adjustable structures is studied in the paper. The disturbances have a harmonic form and are called kinematic waves. Existence of different types of kinematic waves in plane and spatial statically determinate structures is demonstrated.
