Analysis of Chinese Zither Modes Based on Finite Element Analysis

Abstract

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.
