Hi there,
I'm would like to know how to calculate mechanical resonance frequencies of material and form. ie. the materials I'm choosing first are glued wood, as they are much easier to cut/shape. The form would be shaped into an inverted funnel like or bell shaped of different sizes and hollow on the inside. The ideal thickness would be around 1 to 2 cm.
Firstly how do i go about calculating mechanical resonance frequency of wood and most importantly how does the size and shape of the form effects the mechanical resonance frequencies? How do I determine the factors involved?
Briefly- I would like to have a tuning fork, being place on the form to create harmonic resonance frequency, not only a louder sound, but also the right frequencies that will vibrate the body, hopfully to create harmonics.
naturally i can do a trail and error method, but as this work is rather strenuous, i would like some form of formula to determine what will happen before i start the particle work.
any form of help would be greatly appreicated.
best
Dennis
