SVTA-900

String vibration is a resonance phenomenon that is often seen in string instruments. To understand precisely the vibration of the strings and to measure the natural frequencies according to the length, thickness and tension of the strings, it is possible to compare them with the theoretical values and to study the relation between the mode shape, natural frequency and sound of strings. SVTA-900 is an experiment device designed for string vibration phenomena.

Detailed Description

  • Experiment on various strings of different thickness
  • Tension calculation using weights
  • accurate tension control by increasing or decreasing additional weights
  • Standing wave up to 6 orders with sufficient string length
  • Possible to extend the desired string length.
  • Tension Adjustment: Adjust with various weight(500, 300, 200, 100, 50 gram)
  • String installation: Install the string at the idle roller winding two turn.
• Learning string natural frequency
• Understanding the relationship between sound wave generation and string vibration
• Learning the change of natural frequency according to the length of string
• Learning the change of natural frequency according to the tension of string
• Learning the change of natural frequency according to the thickness of string
• Derive the formula for natural frequency calculation according to string length, tension and thickness
