Vibrational and Perceptual Analyses of Musical Instruments

这项科学研究计划的长期目标是更好地了解乐器的声学、流体动力和机械性能，以便应用于改进乐器的设计和制造。我之前对Discovery Grant的研究为这一长期计划带来了重大进展和贡献，包括开发了数值和分析方法，以更好地表征木管乐器气柱的声学行为、演奏者与乐器的耦合以及人类对乐器质量的感知。在未来五年，我们将利用最先进的测量和计算机建模技术，以及感知研究，帮助乐器制造商创新并受益于新技术。

The long-term goal of this scientific research program is to gain a better understanding of the acoustical, fluid-dynamic and mechanical properties of musical instruments that can be applied to improve their design and manufacture. My previous Discovery Grant research has resulted in significant advancements and contributions to this long-term program, including the development of numerical and analytical methods to better characterize the acoustic behaviour of woodwind instrument air columns, player-instrument coupling and the human perception of instrument qualities. Over the next five years, we will make use of state-of-the-art measurement and computer modeling techniques, as well as perceptual studies, to help music instrument makers innovate and benefit from new technologies.
