Wave-based models of sound propagation can be used to predict and synthesize sounds as
they would be heard naturally in room acoustic environments. The numerical simulation of …

Numerical modeling of wave propagation in acoustic tubes is a subject of longstanding
interest, particularly for enclosures of varying cross section, and especially when …

Time domain wave-based methods sidestep the simplifying hypotheses underlying
geometric (ray-based) methods and offer, in theory, a complete solution to the problem of …

In musical acoustics, the production of sound is usually described by the nonlinear
interaction of the musician with a resonator (the instrument). For example a string (resonator) …

The synthesis of convincing acoustic drum sounds remains an open problem. In this paper,
a method for analysing and synthesising pitch glide in drums is proposed, whereby the …

Nonlinear interactions between different parts of musical instruments present several
challenges regarding the formulation of reliable and efficient numerical sound synthesis …

This work considers the synthesis of brass instrument sounds using time-domain numerical
methods. The operation of such a brass instrument is as follows. The player's lips are set into …

The functioning of musical instruments is well described by systems of partial differential
equations. Whether one's interest is in pure musical acoustics or physical modeling of sound …

This work presents a model of a prepared piano, suitable for sound synthesis purposes. The
strings, acting as primary resonators, are modelled in some detail, including geometric …

Le travail effectué dans cette thèse a pour objectif de concevoir un modèle pour la synthèse
de son d'environnement prenant en compte les phénomènes non-linéaires intervenant dans …
