A modal-based approach to the nonlinear vibration of strings against a unilateral obstacle: Simulations and experiments in the pointwise case
This article is concerned with the vibration of a stiff linear string in the presence of a rigid
obstacle. A numerical method for unilateral and arbitrary-shaped obstacles is developed …

Predicting the decay time of solid body electric guitar tones
Although it can be transformed by various electronic devices, the sound of the solid body
electric guitar originates from, and is strongly linked with, the string vibration. The coupling of …

Toward a physical model of the clavichord
String excitation by the tangent in the clavichord is a unique mechanism. The tangent,
kee** in contact with the string after the initial strike, continuously controls the string …
