String vibration represents an active field of research in acoustics. Small-amplitude vibration
is often assumed, leading to simplified physical models that can be simulated efficiently …

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 …

Physical modeling synthesis is a powerful means of access to a wide variety of synthetic
sounds of an acoustic character—one longstanding design principle underlying such …

Thin plate vibrations display a rich and complex dynamics that ranges from linear to strongly
nonlinear regimes when increasing the vibration amplitude with respect to the thickness …

The thin plate is a key structure in various musical instruments, including many percussion
instruments and the soundboard of the piano, and also is the mechanism underlying …

This paper presents simulations of nonlinear plate vibrations in relation to sound synthesis
of gongs and cymbals. The von Kármán equations are shown and then solved in terms of …

This paper presents a physical modelling sound synthesis environment for the production of
valved brass instrument sounds. The governing equations of the system are solved using …

Modern computer hardware provides parallelism at various different levels–most obviously,
multiple multicore processors allow many independent threads to execute at once. At a finer …

A complete vibroacoustic model is presented in order to compute numerically the sound
pressure generated by a thin circular plate vibrating with large amplitude motions. The …

Time-domain simulation of musical instruments has shown promising results in recent years.
Particularly attractive from a sound synthesis perspective is the resolution of system …
