Abstract
Wittrick's general one-dimensional equations governing the propagation of small elastic disturbances in a helical waveguide are solved by the method of characteristics, and numerical results for a particular interface problem are compared with strain gage records from an impacted experimental model. The agreement between theory and experiment is found to be excellent for the type of pulse considered.
