Violin Bridge Mobility Analysis under In-Plane Excitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vibration of a violin bridge is a dynamic contact vibration with two interfaces: strings-bridge, and bridge feet-top plate. In this paper, the mobility of an isolated bridge under in-plane excitation is explored using finite element modeling based on the contact vibration model. Numerical results show that the dynamic contact stiffness in the two contact interfaces has a great impact on the bridge mobility. A main resonance peak is observed in the frequency range of 2-3 kHz in the frequency response of the isolated bridge when the contact stiffness is smaller than a critical threshold. The main resonance peak frequency is affected by the contact stiffness as well. In order to verify the numerical findings, a novel experimental system is then designed on the basis of a piezoelectric dynamometer for bridge mobility analysis. Experimental results confirm the impact of the dynamic contact stiffness on the bridge mobility.

Analysis of bridge mobility of violins
This paper focuses on the bridge mobility of violins. The mobility, or mechanical admittance, quantifies the efficiency of the instrument body to vibrate when a force is applied to the structure. The computation of the mean mobility, after the Skudrzyk’s mean-value theorem, enables a global characterization of the bridge mobility. The choices made by the luthier, when he builds, restores, or ad...
متن کاملAcoustic signature of violins based on bridge transfer mobility measurements.
This paper is an attempt to solve two problems related to musical acoustics. The first one consists in defining a signature of an instrument, namely, summarizing its vibroacoustical behavior. The second one deals with the existing relationship between the musical sound and the vibroacoustic properties of the instrument body. The violin is the application of this paper. A proposed solution for t...

Finite element analysis methods have been used to calculate the effects of trimming bridges on the first several frequencies of vibration. Violin bridges and both standard and Belgian designs of cello bridges have been investigated. Calculations of both in-plane and out-of-plane vibrating modes have been made when the feet were rigidly fixed. In one case, no motion out-of-plane was permitted. I...

متن کاملEstimating the Mode Shapes of a Bridge Using Short Time Transmissibility Measurement from a Passing Vehicle
This paper reports on the analysis of the signals sent by accelerometers fixed on the axles of a vehicle which passes over a bridge. The length of the bridge is divided into some parts and the transmissibility measurement is applied to the signals recorded by two following instrumented axles. As the transmissibility procedure is performed on the divided signals, the method is called Short Time ...
