This paper makes a modal analysis of Chinese zither by using the finite element analysis method. By combining traditional Chinese national musical instruments with computer simulation technology, it studies the modal structure of Chinese zither according to the method of “data model - establishing FEM model - assigning material parameters - establishing constraints - solving the case”. Through modal analysis, it not only verifies the validity of computer simulation method, but also provides data support and theoretical support for the improvement of Chinese zither structure and the structural research of traditional Chinese plucked instruments.
An accurate measurement of noise wave is the key to effective noise control in a tunnel. In this paper, an IP based audio test network is presented. This network includes 100 battery powered recorders and a WIFI network. Each recorder can acquire 2 channels of audio waves and be triggered by external signals of infrared or electrical synchronic pulse. A main control computer connects these recorders to setup parameters and collect data via the WIFI network. Sensors are reassembled to be compatible with the interface of standard sound source. Meanwhile each sensor is fixed in a sensor holder, which can be placed to any position on a plane and can be used to adjust its sensor to 0-180 degrees in both of X-Y direction. The sound source generates various signals, such as clicks, tones, and tone bursts, to help understand how the sound propagates in tunnels. This designed network is capable of acquiring multipoint sound waves synchronously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
