The intricate shapes and sounds that arise from vibrating Chladni plates are a well-known
phenomenon. They are also quantitatively well understood, as the spatial patterns …

Abstract In his 1802 book” Acoustics”, Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni describes how to
visualize different vibration modes using sand, a metal plate, and a violin bow. We will …

In general sound waves propagate radially outwards from a point source. These waves will
continue in the same direction, decreasing in intensity, unless a boundary condition is met …

The goal of this pro ject is to explore the role that fluid coupling plays on the vibration of an
ob ject, and to investigate how one can model such effects. We want to determine whether …

We discuss how the modal response of violin plates changes as their shape varies. Starting
with an accurate 3D scan of the top plate of a historic violin, we develop a parametric model …

In this thesis, I will demonstrate the capabilities of Ruratae, a physics-based audio rendering
engine that models and sonifies mechanical vibrations of Newtonian bodies. This new …

ABSTRACT Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software simulates fluid, air flow and heat
transfer by solving the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations numerically. Realistic 3-D engineering …

For the past 8 years the author has been creating mathematically and physically correct
computer animations for use in teaching acoustics to advanced undergraduate engineering …

This paper presents a psychomechanic investigation which is a combination of vibroacoustic
and psychoacoustic studies. One of the aims of psychomechanics is to extract perceptual …
