Collisions play an important role in many aspects of the physics of musical instruments. The
striking action of a hammer or mallet in keyboard and percussion instruments is perhaps the …

Collisions are an innate part of the function of many musical instruments. Due to the nonlinear
nature of contact forces, special care has to be taken in the construction of numerical …

Analysis of the acoustical functioning of musical instruments invariably involves the estimation
of model parameters. The broad aim of this paper is to develop methods for estimation of …

Collisions play an important role in the sound production mechanism of musical string
instruments. Impactive contact modelling must therefore be incorporated in energy-stable time-…

Voice is a major means of communication for humans, non-human mammals and many
other vertebrates like birds and anurans. The physical and physiological principles of voice …

A time-domain physical model is presented that is capable of simulating a variety of
articulation techniques in single-reed woodwind instruments and suitable for real-time sound …

Articulation on the clarinet is achieved by a combination of precise actions taking place
inside the player's mouth. With the aim to analyse the effects of tonguing and blowing actions …

Musicians use various articulation techniques during expressive performance. In the case of
single-reed woodwind instruments these may involve tongue strokes to the reed or …

Understanding the dynamics of bowed-string attacks involves exploring the relationship
between bow acceleration, bow force, and the generation of Helmholtz motion during transients. …
