Abstract: It is shown that the vibrations of a heterogeneous string can be represented by an infinite series, each term of which is the result of applying a linear integral operator to a function of position and time furnished by the initial data. The method applies also to plane waves of compression or shear in a heterogeneous elastic solid for which the elastic constants and density are functions of only one coordinate and the waves move in the direction of that coordinate.
