This paper focuses on topology optimization for linear transient thermo‐mechanical
problems. The latter are, for example, encountered for extreme precision tools and …

The main role of a violin bridge is to hold the strings and to transmit the vibration of the
strings to the violin body. Violin makers have been empirically aware of the fact that a bridge …

Despite the potential and the increasing popularity of the boundary element method (BEM),
modal analyses based on BEM are not yet put into engineering practice, mainly due to the …

Acoustic sensitivity analysis is an essential technique to determine the direction of structural-
acoustic optimization by evaluating the gradient of the objective functions with respect to the …

In the framework of the present project within the DFG priority program 1897 “Calm, Smooth
and Smart,” dissipation of kinetic energy of vibrating structures into the acoustic far field is …

This thesis develops computational methods for the design and evaluation of idiophone
bars, with a focus on marimbas and vibraphones. The methods developed use computer …

Aiming at the problems of slow human-computer interaction and low accuracy of hand
gesture recognition (HGR) in music composition systems such as human-computer …

This study proposes a robust and effective evolutionary shape optimization methodology for
bell design. Axisymmetric bell profiles are defined within a 2D-half-cross-sectional design …

Das Ausmaß der Dämpfung durch Schallabstrahlung wird unter anderem durch die kritische
Frequenz bestimmt, an der die Biegenwellenzahl und die Wellenzahl des abgestrahlten …
