SUMMARY:Nonlinearity in musical instruments - Professor Jim Woodhouse\, CU
 ED

CONTACT:Ms Helen Gardner
DESCRIPTION:The field of nonlinear vibration is broad\, encompassing a wid
 e variety of phenomena.  It turns out that musical instruments\, of one ki
 nd and another\, have been developed to exploit many of these in a constru
 ctive way.  This talk will start with a brief review of the landscape of n
 onlinear vibration: weak versus strong nonlinearity\, driven versus self-e
 xcited vibration and so on.  A range of examples will then be discussed\, 
 populating this landscape with musical applications including the violin a
 nd the clarinet\, as well as less familiar things like the sitar\, the hur
 dy-gurdy and the Chinese gong.
