We consider uniformly (DC) or periodically (AC) driven generalized infinite elastic chains (a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model) with gradient dynamics. We first show that the union of supports of all space-time invariant measures, denoted by $\mathcal{A}$, projects injectively to a dynamical system on a 2-dimensional cylinder. We also prove existence of space-time ergodic measures supported on a set of rotationaly ordered configurations with an arbitrary (rational or irrational) rotation number. This shows that the Aubry-Mather structure of ground states persists if an arbitrary AC or DC force is applied. The set $\mathcal{A}$ attracts almost surely (in probability) configurations with bounded spacing. In the DC case, $\mathcal{A}$ consists entirely of equilibria and uniformly sliding solutions. The key tool is a new weak Lyapunov function on the space of translationally invariant probability measures on the state space, which counts intersections.

Keywords: twist maps, synchronization, reaction-diffusion equation, uniformly sliding states, Poincaré-Bendixson theorem, Aubry-Mather theory, Frenkel-Kontorova model, space-time invariant measure, attractors, minimizing measures, space-time entropy..
