In this work we investigate a mathematical model for small vertical vibrations of a stretched string when the ends vary with the time t and the cross sections of the string is variable and the density of the material is also variable, that is, = (x). It contains Kirchhoff model for fixed ends. We obtain solutions by Galerkin method and estimates in Sobolev spaces.
Key words: strings, Kirchhoff, Sobolev, Galerkin, vibrations.
