Time domain simulation of a piano. Part 1: model description

J. Chabassier, A. Chaigne, P. Joly (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The purpose of this study is the time domain modeling of a piano. We aim at explaining the vibratory and acoustical behavior of the piano, by taking into account the main elements that contribute to sound production. The soundboard is modeled as a bidimensional thick, orthotropic, heterogeneous, frequency dependent damped plate, using Reissner Mindlin equations. The vibroacoustics equations allow the soundboard to radiate into the surrounding air, in which we wish to compute the complete acoustical...

Variational characterization of eigenvalues of a non-symmetric eigenvalue problem governing elastoacoustic vibrations

Markus Stammberger, Heinrich Voss (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

Small amplitude vibrations of an elastic structure completely filled by a fluid are considered. Describing the structure by displacements and the fluid by its pressure field one arrives at a non-selfadjoint eigenvalue problem. Taking advantage of a Rayleigh functional we prove that its eigenvalues can be characterized by variational principles of Rayleigh, minmax and maxmin type.

Well-posedness for systems representing electromagnetic/acoustic wavefront interaction

H. T. Banks, J. K. Raye (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider dispersive electromagnetic systems in dielectric materials in the presence of acoustic wavefronts. A theory for existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on data is presented for a general class of systems which include acoustic pressure-dependent Debye polarization models for dielectric materials.

Well-posedness for Systems Representing Electromagnetic/Acoustic Wavefront Interaction

H. T. Banks, J. K. Raye (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider dispersive electromagnetic systems in dielectric materials in the presence of acoustic wavefronts. A theory for existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence on data is presented for a general class of systems which include acoustic pressure-dependent Debye polarization models for dielectric materials.
