Computational Mechanics of the Classical Guitar

Meer over het boek

Focusing on a dynamic approach to instrument acoustics, this book offers insights into the mechanics of the classical guitar through time-dependent transient analysis and simulation. It presents theoretical and experimental research relevant to engineers, instrument makers, and musicians, detailing the fundamental equations governing vibrating bodies. The text introduces a finite difference method model that reveals the guitar's vibrational behavior as a cohesive system and explores phenomena like string-top plate coupling and finger noise during play.
