A basketball bounced on a stiff surface produces a characteristic loud thump, followed by high-pitched ringing. Describing the ball as an inextensible but flexible membrane containing compressed air, I formulate an approximate theory of the…
Sound emergence in clarinetlike instruments is investigated in terms of instability of the static regime. Various models of reed-bore coupling are considered, from the pioneering work of Wilson and Beavers ["Operating modes of the…
The radiation efficiency from simple vibrating planar surfaces is often used as a basis to describe the sound radiation from more complex structures, having important applications in various fields of acoustics. The low-frequency radiation…
Stochastic physics is a central pillar of modern research in many fields, but is rarely presented to undergrad students in a hands-on experiment. Here, we demonstrate how a human-scale, simple, and affordable experimental setup can be used…
Fringe field becomes important when one requires more accurate modeling of a ring lattice to study the long-term beam dynamics in storage rings and deal with large aperture magnets in high-intensity proton synchrotrons or accumulator rings.…
The statistical model in combination with detailed balance principle is able to phenomenological calculate and analyze spin and flavor dependent properties like magnetic moments (with effective masses, effective charge, with both effective…
The buildup and release of a sense of tension is one of the most essential aspects of the process of listening to music. A veridical computational model of perceived musical tension would be an important ingredient for many music…
Music creation involves not only composing the different parts (e.g., melody, chords) of a musical work but also arranging/selecting the instruments to play the different parts. While the former has received increasing attention, the latter…
Hand and finger movements are a mainstay of piano technique. Automatic Fingering from symbolic music data allows us to simulate finger and hand movements. Previous proposals achieve automatic piano fingering based on knowledge-driven or…
Sound production due to turbulence is widely shown to be an important phenomenon involved in a.o. fricatives, singing, whispering and speech pathologies. In spite of its relevance turbulent flow is not considered in classical physical…
The swinging spring, or elastic pendulum, has a 2:1:1 resonance arising at cubic order in its approximate Lagrangian. The corresponding modulation equations are the well-known three-wave equations that also apply, for example, in…
In a typical voice conversion system, prior works utilize various acoustic features (e.g., the pitch, voiced/unvoiced flag, aperiodicity) of the source speech to control the prosody of generated waveform. However, the prosody is related…
This paper concerns about the large time behavior of acoustic wave motion driven by a random force acting through the boundary. We begin with an abstract result showing the interconnection between the regularity of Markov semigroup…
Cross-flow turbine power is a net sum of power generation from rotating blades and power loss from rotating support structures. While the aggregate forces and torques at the turbine level are important for end use, these can inhibit a…
The mean-square width of the energy profile of bosonic string is calculated considering two boundary terms in the effective action. The perturbative expansion of the Lorentz-invariant boundary terms at the second and the fourth order in the…
Simple models of clarinet instruments based on iterated maps have been used in the past to successfully estimate the threshold of oscillation of this instrument as a function of a constant blowing pressure. However, when the blowing…
Music generation has always been a hot topic. When discussing symbolic music, melody or harmonies are usually seen as the only generating targets. But in fact, playing techniques are also quite an important part of the music. In this paper,…
We consider the effect of rain on wind wave generation and dissipation. Rain falling on a wavy surface may have a marked tendency to dampen the shorter waves in the tail of the spectrum, the related range increasing with the rain rate.…
A raga is a melodic structure with fixed notes and a set of rules characterizing a certain mood endorsed through performance. By a vadi swar is meant that note which plays the most significant role in expressing the raga. A samvadi swar…
Similar to pure fluids, physical properties of a binary fluid mixture also exhibit singularities close to its critical point, especially when it is dilute. The numerical and theoretical results presented in this paper identify that the…
