Computational Physics Project Proposal<\/p>\n

Chapter of interest: Ch 11 – Vibrations, Waves, and the Physics of Musical Instruments.\u00a0For this project, We\u00a0want to explore different aspects of vibrations and waves\u00a0as they occur in musical instruments. In general, we would like to explore everything in\u00a0this chapter. This can involve modeling string displacement and decay through plucked\u00a0and struck strings as well as analyzing the frequencies produced. We can also compare\u00a0this data calculated in MatLab to a real life setting, recording a string being plucked or\u00a0struck, then using measurements to model the same scenario in MatLab, then compared\u00a0calculated vs. actual results. Also we would like to explore the overtones of the sounds\u00a0generated and see if it correlates to the frequencies found using a Fourier Transformation\u00a0on the recorded frequencies. If we have enough time, we would also like to repeat these\u00a0experimental steps with a drum, exploring the way waves travel on a circular plane\u00a0with locked or heavily damped edges (the rim of the drum). The drum can be struck in\u00a0the center of the drumhead or the center and the rim at the same time, producing two\u00a0different sounds and wave patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
