When the compression waves reach areas of high acoustic impedance mismatch ( such as the opposite side of the target ), tension waves reflect back and create spalling.
2.
Thus, it would seem that a wave of tension must be initiated at the event at which the leading spaceship begins to accelerate, and this must travel down the string, either taking up slack ( which may be hard to model ) if the trailing spaceship has already begun to acclerate by the time this tension wave reaches it, or by starting to pull on the trailing spaceship when it reaches it . "'Indeed, it seems that the trailing spaceship only complicates the scenario unneccessarily . "'
