Sommario

Si esamina il problema della propagazione di un'onda torsionale in un filo curvato. Viene svolto il calcolo degli spostamenti con curvatura sia naturale, sia imposta e si ottengono le corrispondenti relazioni di dispersione sulla base di un modello puramente elastico. Si discutono inoltre i risultati ottenuti, in relazione al problema della propagazione di un segnale in una linea di ritardo meccanica, confrontandoli con quelli precedentemente acquisiti da altri Autori.

Summary

The problem of the propagation of a torsional wave in a curved wire is examined. The displacements with a natural and with a forced curvature are calculated and the corresponding dispersion relations are obtained on the basis of a purely elastic model.

The results are discussed in connexion with the problem of the propagation of a signal in a wire-type acoustic delay line and compared with the results previously obtained by other workers.
