Conclusions
PSM is accurate and efficient, it can be used to
solve PDEs and neural models
Pay attention to Gibbs phenomenon and aliasing
HH model is not complete, it explains only the
electric behaviour of AP propagation
Conclusions
Heimburg & Jackson model explains the
mechanical changes but it has some problems in
terms of cph and cgr
Engelbrecth Peets Tamm model solves Heimburg
& Jackson model’s problems
Conclusions…Still unsolved
Mechanical model does not represent
annihilation
How to Unificate HH model to EPT model?

  1. Phase velocity: the velocity at which the phase of any one frequency component of the wave propagates. Group velocity: is the velocity with which the envelope of the wave packet, propagates through space.
  2. Rayleigh-Love the transverse displacements w is associated to the longitudinal strain u proportionally to radius r and the Poisson coefficient 𝜈. Navier-Bernoulli hypothesis of planarity and normality in respect with the rod axis of plane cross sections Bishop’s model is an approximate model of wave propagation in rods suitable for the purpose since it provides, after some positions according to Porubov, the possibility to represent the anomalous dispersion (i.e. the Poisson coefficient must be negative) through the dispersion relation
  3. h_2 allows to take into account the inertial effects introduced by the fourth-order mixed derivatives of the Bishop’s model and, from the relative values of h_1 and h_2 is possible to model the anomalous dispersion that comes from experimental evidences J-Shaped Curve
  4. according to the anomalous dispersion, the shorter waves emerge in front of the signal
