Inspired by the role sound and friction play in interactions with everyday objects, this work aims to identify some of the ways in which kinetic surface friction rendering can complement interactive sonification controlled by movable…
Oceanic pressure measurements, even in very deep water, and atmospheric pressure or seismic records, from anywhere on Earth, contain noise with dominant periods between 3 and 10 seconds, that is believed to be excited by ocean surface…
Wind-driven sound generation is a source of anger and pleasure, depending on the situation: airframe and car noise, or combustion noise are some of the most disturbing environmental pollutions, whereas musical instruments are sources of…
We are interested in generating surfaces with arbitrary roughness and forming patterns on the surfaces. Two methods are applied to construct rough surfaces. In the first method, some superposition of wave functions with random frequencies…
We use an optical centrifuge to deposit a controllable amount of rotational energy into dense molecular ensembles. Subsequent rotation-translation energy transfer, mediated by thermal collisions, results in the localized heating of the gas…
The shear wave speed is an upper limit for the speed of cracks loaded in tension in linear elastic solids. We have discovered that in a non-linear material, cracks in tension (Mode I) exceed this sound speed, and travel in an intersonic…
The theory of acoustic wave scattering by many small bodies is developed for bodies with impedance boundary condition. It is shown that if one embeds many small particles in a bounded domain, filled with a known material, then one can…
Impinging compressible jets may cause deafness and material fatigue due to immensely loud tonal noise. It is generally accepted that a feedback mechanism similar to the screech feedback loop is responsible for impinging tones. The close of…
Using molecular dynamics simulation, we study acoustic resonance in low-temperature glass by applying a small periodic shear at a boundary wall. Shear wave resonance occurs as the frequency $\omega$ approaches $\omega_\ell= \pi…
Consonance is related to the perception of pleasantness arising from a combination of sounds and has been approached quantitatively using mathematical relations, physics, information theory, and psychoacoustics. Tonal consonance is present…
Surface roughness has a huge impact on many important phenomena. The most important property of rough surfaces is the surface roughness power spectrum C(q). We present surface roughness power spectra of many surfaces of practical…
The global loudness of a varying intensity sound is greater when the intensity increases than when it decreases. This global loudness asymmetry was found to be larger for pure tones than for broadband noises. In this study, our aim was to…
Sounds originate from object motions and vibrations of surrounding air. Inspired by the fact that humans is capable of interpreting sound sources from how objects move visually, we propose a novel system that explicitly captures such motion…
Haptic perception is highly important for immersive teleoperation of robots, especially for accomplishing manipulation tasks. We propose a low-cost haptic sensing and rendering system, which is capable of detecting and displaying surface…
Auditory frisson is the experience of feeling of cold or shivering related to sound in the absence of a physical cold stimulus. Multiple examples of frisson-inducing sounds have been reported, but the mechanism of auditory frisson remains…
Coupling between two singing wineglasses was obtained and investigated. Rubbing the rim of one wineglass produce a tone and due to the coupling induces oscillations on the other wineglasses. The needed coupling strength between the…
After reviewing the sound speeds in various forms and conditions of matter, we investigate the sound speed of hadronic matter that has decoupled from the hot and dense system formed during high-energy collisions. We comprehensively consider…
Optical vibration sensing enables recovering the scene sound directly from the surface vibration of nearby objects, turning everyday objects into ``visual microphones''. However, most prior methods had focused on capturing the vibrations of…
Sound waves cause small vibrations in nearby objects. A few techniques exist in the literature that can extract sound from video. In this paper we study local vibration patterns at different image locations. We show that different locations…
In physics, timbre is a complex phenomenon, like color. Musical timbres are given by the superposition of sinusoidal signals, corresponding to longitudinal acoustic waves. Colors are produced by the superposition of transverse…
