The bouncing bow: Some important parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bouncing bow, as used in rapid spiccato and ricochet bowing, has been studied. Dynamical tests were made by monitoring the force history when the bow was played by a mechanical device against a force transducer as a substitute to the string. The action of the bow stick was investigated by modal analysis. Bows made of wood, fibre glass, and carbon fibre composites were studied and compared, as well as a bow which was modified from the normal (concave) shape into a straight stick.

Violin bow vibrations.
The modal frequencies and bending mode shapes of a freely supported tapered violin bow are investigated by finite element analysis and direct measurement, with and without tensioned bow hair. Such computations are used with analytic models to model the admittance presented to the stretched bow hairs at the ends of the bow and to the string at the point of contact with the bow. Finite element co...
متن کاملOvality and Bow Defect of Pre-punched Sheets in Roll Forming of Trapezoidal Sections
Roll forming process is used for manufacturing sheet metal parts by successive bending and creating the final shape with gradual deformation. In this article, deformation of a pre-punched sheet due to the roll forming process was studied. Two main defects in the roll forming process are ovality of holes and bow defect. The ovality of the hole is influenced by the process parameters including sh...
متن کاملOn the kinematics of spiccato bowing
A skilled string performer is able to play a series of spiccato notes (short strokes played by a bouncing bow) with each onset showing little or no aperiodic motion before a regular slip/stick pattern (Helmholtz motion) is triggered. Kinematic analysis reveals that a well-behaving bow gives nearly vertical impacts on the string, and that the first slip of each note takes place when the normal b...
متن کاملNumerical and experimental hydrodynamic analysis of catamaran with and without V-like center bow
Catamaran added V-like center bow (INCAT) is investigated as a wave-piercing vessel to decrease vertical acceleration and diminish slam events during sea-keeping operation. The catamaran and the vessel bow were modeled and the vertical acceleration of model was validated with experimenal test. The geometry of V-like center-bow such as slope of center bow and elevation from demi-hulls was optimi...
متن کاملMechanics and acoustics of violin bowing Freedom, constraints and control in performance
This thesis addresses sound production in bowed-string instruments from two perspectives: the physics of the bowed string, and bow control in performance. Violin performance is characterized by an intimate connection between the player and the instrument, allowing for a continuous control of the sound via the main bowing parameters (bow velocity, bow force and bowbridge distance), but imposing ...
