Bibliography Note: To run the AVI file simulations, click on the simulation image to start and stop the motion. Introduction to the Fundamentals of Sound Key words: velocity, frequency, and wavelength, transverse and longitudinal waves, power and intensity. TYPES OF MECHANICAL WAVE MOTION Transverse waves cause medium displacements perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave. Example: Wire vibrating under tension. Longitudinal waves cause medium displacements in the same direction as the propagation of the wave. Example: Vibrating column of air in a tube. Intensity is the power per unit area of a sound wave emanating from a point source and varies as the inverse square of the distance. The intensity is a function of the properties of the medium, the frequency of the sound, and the actual amplitudes of the molecular motions. Speed of propagation is dependent upon the nature of the material.

ACOUSTIC SPACE MP3 lecture, April 2003. David Worrall (David.Worrall@canberra.edu.au) http://www.avatar.com.au/courses/PPofM/space/ This lecture is an introduction to the concept of acoustic space: space created with and in sound, how we use (perceive) sound to locate its source in space (location perception), and how we can use different technologies to create a sense of space. 1. WHAT IS SPACE? 2. HOW DO WE PERCEIVE SPACE? 3. MEDIA PRODUCTION USING (simulated) 3—SPACE 1. WHAT IS SPACE? Space is a complex idea, not easily described. OED: 1.a. a continuous unlimited area or expanse which may or may not contain objects. b. an interval between one, two or three-dimensional points or objects ...4. an interval of time (as in in the space of an hour These definitions tend to refer to Physical Space but we should also note that we also tend to refer to other types of space such as • Psychological • Emotional • Visual • Aural • Conceptional (Idea space): 1-D, 2D, 4D, n—D • Place (physical space with character) Types of physical space —2D (planar) —3D (volumetric) —Virtual Space Aural Sound in Spaces Space in Sounds Spatialised sound I use the term 3—space to refer to 3—dimensional physical space.: the space outside of and around us.

record heights tasty turkey election extra let it snow ... math leads league in baseball Web Resource: Laughter's Influence Vanderbilt University The Acoustics of Laughter: New Insights into this Mysterious Form of Expression Humans have many ways to express themselves, but one of the most enjoyable - and mysterious - is laughter. More than a frivolous emotional outburst, laughter has many important functions in human communication, playing major roles in social situations ranging from dates to diplomatic negotiations. First of all, laughers produce many different kinds of sounds, including grunts and snorts. The investigators found interesting sex differences in the use of these sounds, with males tending to grunt and snort more often than females. Ever think your laugh sounds funny when you're stressed out? The researchers found lots of evidence that laughter can be associated with out-of-the-ordinary vocal physics, such as whirlpools of air or whistles near the larynx. While the researchers don't know with certainty what the origins of such effects are, they may be associated with a high level of emotional arousal on the part of laughers. This research was funded by the National Science Foundation From Inside Science News Service —a joint effort of the American Institute of Physics and the American Physical Society.

Acoustics and Computing Research Here is some of the research the group is involved in, and some of the questions that research in this group is aiming to answer. Physics of Stringed Musical Instruments Vibrational mode studies of stringed instruments The acoustical function and sound quality of a stringed musical instrument is governed by the vibrational modes of its body. Mode studies have been carried out on real musical instruments in various stages of construction to examine the relationships between vibration properties and constructional parameters. Modes are studied using a variety of techniques, including optical holography. Work has concentrated on guitars and violins. Player interactions How does the string interact with the body of the instrument and how does the player interact with the string? Modelling and measurement of excitation processes. Numerical modelling of musical instruments Modelling of the vibrations of musical instruments using the finite element method. Numerical models of this type are the only effective method for investigating systematically how constructional parameters influence the modes of the complete instrument. Synthesis of instrument sounds Instrument sounds are synthesised from "first principles", i.e. from information about the dimensions of the instrument and about the material properties of the wood used in its construction. The work involves calculating the sound radiation from the instrument using boundary element methods. The next stage of the process is to develop coupled finite element/boundary element techniques to model radiation damping of the modes.

Research Physics Home Search Advanced Search Physical Acoustics About the Physical Acoustics Group Faculty: Bass Breazeale Gilbert Hickey ... Raspet , and Sabatier The physical acoustics research program at the University is one of the largest in the United States. Research includes the physical phenomena associated with acoustic waves from less than one hertz to many megahertz, and the use of acoustics as a tool to investigate other phenomena. Most of the activity occurs in the state-of-the-art laboratories of the Jamie Whitten National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA) on the Ole Miss campus. In addition to the core study of physical acoustics, the center's dozen research groups are involved in a great variety of other acoustics fields, including animal bioacoustics, aeroacoustics, psychological acoustics, signal processing, and engineering and agricultural applications of sound. For more details, see the NCPA website Aeroacoustics (in association with engineering faculty) Aeroacoustics is devoted to the study of aerodynamically generated sound. One important area involves the prediction and reduction of sound generated by commercial aircraft. However, the field is quite broad and also involves study of acoustics associated with complex fluid structure interactions of hypersonic vehicles, like that associated with reusable launch vehicles for satellite repair and space station resupply. The field involves theoretical, numerical, and experimental efforts to better understand the physics for relating flow field pressures fluctuations to the turbulent dynamics of high speed flows that often contain aero-thermal chemical reactions. Contributions from this field often lead to development of aerospace vehicle systems that meet environmental standards and ones that can be optimized for system performance and reliability.

University Physics Contact Us Department of Physics News and Events Recent Department News Physics news links The sonar of dolphins The Acoustics Group's resident dolphin fanatic, Dr Peter Dobbins, believes designers of sonar systems have much to learn from the many animals, both in the sea and in the air, that use sound as their main sense. Creatures that live where there is little or no light need an alternative way of finding their way around and searching for food and mates. Dolphins, along with whales, bats and many other animals have opted to use sound. Dr Dobbins is an underwater acoustics specialist in the University of Bath's Physics Department. In a forthcoming GULP lecture he will explore how these animals have evolved many of the techniques we have since developed independently in radar and sonar, but somehow they always seem to do it better! The lecture, "The Sonar of Dolphins", will be in Room 8 West 1.1 on Wednesday 25 February 2004 at 5:15pm - 6:15pm. Dr Dobbins is also organising a Symposium on Bio-Sonar Systems and Bio-acoustics in collaboration with the Underwater Acoustics Group of the Institute of Acoustics, at Loughborough University in September 2004.

Acoustical Society of America ASA/EAA/DAGA '99 Meeting Lay Language Papers Lay Language Paper Index Press Room Acoustics: A Route to Science Literacy in the 21st Century Thomas D. Rossing - Rossing@physics.niu.ed Physics Department, Northern Illinois University DeKalb, IL 60115 Popular version of paper 1pED10 Presented Monday afternoon, March 15, 1999 ASA/EAA/DAGA '99 Meeting, Berlin, Germany In American education, two trends have been apparent during the second half of the 20th Century: the disappearance of acoustics from physics curricula and the decline in the percentage of students who take physics, both in schools and universities. If you are diligent enough in gathering data, it is easy to make meaningless correlations, such as the high correlation found between the number of Republicans in the Congress and sunspots during the past century. However, I happen to believe that there is at least some causal relationship between the disappearance of once popular subjects, such as sound and light, from physics curricula in our universities and the general feeling in our society that physics is too difficult and uninteresting for the average student. Many high school teachers are recognizing the appeal of sound, and featuring it in their high school physics courses. I bring extra copies of Echoes to meetings of high school teachers, and they are enthusiastically picked up (and read). The ASA Technical Committee on Musical Acoustics has organized several successful workshops on teaching acoustics for high school teachers. Teachers who participated in these workshops went home with both hardware and software they could use in their classes. At these workshops, teachers assembled apparatus for acoustics laboratory and demonstration experiments using pre-cut materials supplied.
