The evolution of musical instrument manufacturing has prompted a quest for innovative
materials beyond traditional wood. This review explores the utilization of composite …

Featured Application The use of mechanical metamaterials in musical instruments could be
an excellent way to engineer the wood of the instrument to obtain a particular sound …

An integrated method, which combines Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry, impulse
response measurements, finite element method simulations, and psychoacoustic tests, is …

Advanced numerical simulations, that include modal and frequency response function finite
element analysis, frequency domain and time domain finite element method–boundary …

The transient acoustic dynamics of a splash cymbal are investigated via the Finite Element
Method-Boundary Element Method. Real three-dimensional motion data recorded from the …

In instruments of the violin family, the bridge is the part in charge of transferring the
vibrational energy of the strings into the body and therefore contributes greatly to the sound …

This study focuses on the analysis of the displacements generated in 3D-printed acoustic
guitar tops. Specifically, the influence of 3D printing direction parameters on the vibrational …

A novel 3D auto-drum machine system for the generation and recording of percussion
sounds is developed and presented. The capabilities of the machine, along with a …

In this paper we implement a method that combines finite element analysis and artificial
intelligence (AI) to study how the choice of some design and material parameters affects the …

The key parameters musicians consider when they evaluate the quality of a musical
instrument are its tuning (reproducing a musical scale), sound quality, and ergonomics …
