Observations on the dynamic properties of violin bows
نویسنده
چکیده
Some of the dynamic properties of violin bows have been studied. The normal modes of the bow stick and assembled bow, respectively, have been explored by modal analysis. Modefiequencies and damping ratios have been compared for a set of bows which had ratings rangzng fiom poor to excellent, assigned to them by professional players, and an attempt has been made to connect the modal properties with the quality of the bow. The influence of the tension of the bow hair and the player's holding of the bow are also considered.

متن کاملA predictive model for the adjustment of violin bows
A finite element model aimed at predicting the in-plane and out-of-plane static mechanical behavior of a tightened bow is developed. It takes into account the prestress due to hair tension and the nonlinear behavior due to large displacements. An non-destructive procedure to determine the input parameters of the model from measurements on a bow is described. Numerical and experimental results a...
متن کاملThe violin bow: taper, camber and flexibility.
An analytic, small-deflection, simplified model of the modern violin bow is introduced to describe the bending profiles and related strengths of an initially straight, uniform cross-section, stick as a function of bow hair tension. A number of illustrative bending profiles (cambers) of the bow are considered, which demonstrate the strong dependence of the flexibility of the bow on longitudinal ...
متن کاملWireless Sensor System for Measurement of Violin Bowing Parameters
We present a new system to measure the position and force parameters most relevant to violin bowing technique. It is stable and reliable, and as it allows players to perform without impediment and consists of minimal equipment, it is also suitable for use in professional performance settings. This measurement system, implemented on a carbon fiber bow, relies on an electromagnetic field sensing ...
