This paper presents an overview of the acoustic imaging methods developed over the past
three decades that enable one to reconstruct all acoustic quantities based on the acoustic …

This work demonstrates a comprehensive methodology for capture, analysis, manipulation,
and reproduction of spatial sound-radiation. As the challenge herein, acoustic events need …

The sound radiation patterns of musical instruments represent a considerable part of the
perceived room acoustics. The directivities of fourteen common symphony orchestra …

We investigated the material properties of Cremonese soundboards using a wide range of
spectroscopic, microscopic, and chemical techniques. We found similar types of spruce in …

The radiation patterns of acoustic sources have great significance in a wide range of
applications, such as measuring the directivity of loudspeakers and investigating the …

The measurement of directivity for sound sources that are not electroacoustic transducers is
fundamentally limited because the source cannot be driven with arbitrary signals. A …

This paper presents a three-dimensional time-domain numerical model of the vibration and
acoustic radiation from a guitar. The model involves the transverse displacement of the …

Sound fields radiated from the castanet, a Spanish percussive instrument comprising two
shells, were optically visualized. A measurement system, which used parallel phase-shifting …

Laser vibrometry measurements on a bowed violin are performed. A rotating disc apparatus,
acting as a violin bow, is developed. It produces a continuous, long, repeatable, multi …

Traditionally, concert hall acoustics is evaluated by listening to live concerts, which makes a
direct comparison challenging. This thesis presents new tools and methods in the domain of …
