Physical Modeling of the Piano

钢琴的物理学将通过实验测量和理论建模相结合进行研究。 其中一个主要目标是开发一个钢琴的计算模型，它将使用牛顿定律来计算一个现实的钢琴音调。 该模型将通过与真实的钢琴的实验结果进行比较来检验和改进。 完成后，计算模型将能够详细研究乐器的不同部分如何对音调做出贡献，以及钢琴设计的变化如何影响乐器产生的声音。

The physics of the piano will be investigated through a combination of experimental measurements and theoretical modeling. One of the primary goals is to develop a computational model of the piano, which will use Newton's laws to calculate a realistic piano tone. The model will be tested an refined by comparison with experimental results for real pianos. When completed, the computational model will enable detailed studies of how different parts of the instrument contribute to the tone, and how changes in the design of the piano would affect the sound produced by the instrument.
