The String Equations for Solid and Wound Musical Instrument Strings
نویسنده
چکیده
The description of a vibrating string is a well-known problem in physics. It has been extensively described in countless textbooks, and in many articles on the Internet (see, e.g., Refs [1-4]). However, a detailed description of the behavior of a wound string (a string consisting of a core wire with additional windings to increase the string mass) is not as easy to find. This article derives the string equations for both solid and wound strings. For completeness, the derivation of string equation itself is also presented.

Inharmonic strings and the hyperpiano
This paper describes a design procedure for a musical instrument based on inharmonic (nonuniform) strings. Fabricating nonuniform strings from commercially available strings constrains the possible string diameters, and hence the possible inharmonicities. Detailed simulations of the strings are combined with a measure of sensory dissonance (or roughness) to help narrow down the remaining possib...
متن کاملModeling and Analysis of Acoustic Musical Strings Using Kelly-Lochbaum Lattice Networks
Musical strings play important roles in the timbre of a stringed instrument. An instrument installed with different strings can produce very different sounds. To model a plucked-string instrument physically, analyzing its strings may be a good starting point. In this paper, a novel strategy for the modeling and analysis of acoustic musical strings is proposed. In order to obtain the vibration o...
متن کاملA Fast and Accurate Global Maximum Power Point Tracking Method for Solar Strings under Partial Shading Conditions
This paper presents a model-based approach for the global maximum power point (GMPP) tracking of solar strings under partial shading conditions. In the proposed method, the GMPP voltage is estimated without any need to solve numerically the implicit and nonlinear equations of the photovoltaic (PV) string model. In contrast to the existing methods in which first the locations of all the local pe...
متن کاملPiano Case, Keyboard, And Strings: Separation-Derived Musical Instruments In An Interactive Composition
This paper proposes analysis as an effective technique for creating new instruments. Acoustic piano components such as the case, strings, and keyboard mechanism are defined as independent acoustic separation-derived musical instruments. Enhancement of the instruments via digital signal processing and synthesis is also discussed. Friction driven physical model of the string is used to complete t...
متن کاملDrill string Vibration Modeling Including Coupling Effects
Abstract: The governing equations of motion for a drill string considering coupling between axial, lateral and torsional vibrations are obtained using a Lagrangian approach. The result leads to a set of non-linear equations with time varying coefficients. A fully coupled model for axial, lateral, and torsional vibrations of drill strings is presented. The bit/formation interactions are assumed ...
