| 抄録: | We study the vibration characteristics of an ideal string in the presence of a curved boundary obstacle which is a common constructional feature of sitar, veena and tanpura. It has been well-established that these plucked string instruments have attractive tonal qualities like better harmonicity, presence of amplitude as well as frequency modulations, and appearance of a large number of overtones. The smooth wrapping and unwrapping of the string over the curved obstacle introduces quadratic nonlinearities whose effect on the vibration characteristics is elucidated through a perturbative analysis using the method of multiple scales. Modal interactions facilitated by the obstacle results in neutrally stable mode-locked periodic solutions in our model thereby accounting for the complex frequency and amplitude modulations. In particular, we find a mode-locked state which tends to an equipartition of energy with an increase in the number of modes. Our numerical simulations suggest that a plucked disturbance favors this state and hence, several overtones can be clearly identified in the sound of these plucked instruments. A good qualitative agreement between the results from our idealized model and the sound of these instruments highlights the role of the finite curved bridge in deciding the tonal quality of sitar, veena and tanpura. |
