Abstract

The analysis is performed for the parameters of long pendulum-type waves in a one-dimensional periodic system with an arbitrary hierarchical structure. A case study is carried out into the wave propagation peculiarities in an impact-excited system of equal rigid blocks with parting layers differing in rigidity. The pendulum wave velocity in the automodel block-hierarchical system is determined.
