Transverse vibrations of a string moving with time-dependent velocity v(t) have been investigated. Analytical solutions of the problem are found using the systematic approach of Lie group theory. Group classification with respect to the arbitrary velocity function has been performed using a newly developed technique of equivalence transformations. From the symmetries of the partial differential equation, the method for deriving exact solutions for the arbitrary velocity case is shown. Special cases of interest such as constant velocity, constant acceleration, harmonically varying velocity and exponentially decaying velocity are investigated in detail. Finally, for a simply supported strip, approximate solutions are presented for the exponentially decaying and harmonically varying cases.
