•Traveling wave (TW) coexisting with standing wave (SW) is generated in a beam.•A spring damper is used to separate TW and SW regions as the beam is excited.•TW is produced using one-point excitation by first-of-its-kind experiments.•A cost function approach is adopted to investigate the quality of...
