Auto-oscillations, Regimes and Bifurcations in Self-sustained Musical Instruments
摘要
Wind and bowed string musical instruments make up the family of self-sustained instruments. The production of sound is studied in this chapter from the point of view of non-linear dynamical systems. Based on simple but useful physical models of each category of instrument, the different types of sound produced are associated with different types of mathematical solutions: equilibria, periodic solutions, quasi-periodic solutions, etc. The emergence and evolution of these solutions as a function of parameters relating to the musician or the instrument are studied by introducing notions from bifurcation theory.
