SUMMARY:Nonlinearity in musical instruments - Professor Jim Woodhouse\, CU
 ED
DTSTART:20140124T143000Z

UID:TALK50404@talks.cam.ac.uk
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 kin
 d and another\, have been developed to exploit many of these in a construc
 tive way. This talk will start with a brief review of the landscape of non
 linear vibration: weak versus strong nonlinearity\, driven versus self-exc
 ited vibration and so on. A range of examples will then be discussed\, pop
 ulating this landscape with musical applications including the violin and 
 the clarinet\, as well as less familiar things like the sitar\, the hurdy-
 gurdy and the Chinese gong.
