2 Outline 1 The wave equation 2 Acoustic tubes: reflections & resonance 3 Oscillations & musical acoustics 4 Spherical waves & room acoustics E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

3 Acoustics & sound Acoustics is the study of physical waves (Acoustic) waves transmit energy without permanently displacing matter (e.g. ocean waves) Same math recurs in many domains Intuition: pulse going down a rope E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

4 The wave equation Consider a small section of the rope y S x ε φ 2 φ 1 S Displacement y(x), tension S, mass ɛ dx Lateral force is F y = S sin(φ 2 ) S sin(φ 1 ) S 2 y x 2 dx E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

5 Wave equation (2) Newton s law: F = ma S 2 y x 2 dx = ɛ dx 2 y t 2 Call c 2 = S/ɛ (tension to mass-per-length) hence, the Wave Equation: c 2 2 y x 2 = 2 y t 2... partial DE relating curvature and acceleration E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

6 Solution to the wave equation If y(x, t) = f (x ct) (any f ( )) then y x = f (x ct) 2 y x 2 = f (x ct) also works for y(x, t) = f (x + ct) Hence, general solution: y t = cf (x ct) 2 y t 2 = c2 f (x ct) c 2 2 y x 2 = 2 y t 2 y(x, t) = y + (x ct) + y (x + ct) E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

7 Solution to the wave equation (2) y + (x ct) and y (x + ct) are traveling waves shape stays constant but changes position time 0: y y + y - time T: x = c T x y + y - x c is traveling wave velocity ( x/ t) y + moves right, y moves left resultant y(x) is sum of the two waves E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

8 Wave equation solutions (3) What is the form of y +, y? any doubly-differentiable function will satisfy wave equation Actual waveshapes dictated by boundary conditions e.g. y(x) at t = 0 plus constraints on y at particular xs e.g. input motion y(0, t) = m(t) rigid termination y(l, t) = 0 y y(0,t) = m(t) x y + (x,t) y(l,t) = 0 E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

9 Terminations and reflections System constraints: initial y(x, 0) = 0 (flat rope) input y(0, t) = m(t) (at agent s hand) ( y + ) termination y(l, t) = 0 (fixed end) wave equation y(x, t) = y + (x ct) + y (x + ct) At termination: y(l, t) = 0 y + (L ct) = y (L + ct) i.e. y + and y are mirrored in time and amplitude around x = L inverted reflection at termination y + y(x,t) = y + + y [simulation travel1.m] x = L y E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

11 Acoustic tubes Sound waves travel down acoustic tubes: pressure x 1-dimensional; very similar to strings Common situation: wind instrument bores ear canal vocal tract E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

12 Pressure and velocity Consider air particle displacement ξ(x, t) ξ(x) x Particle velocity v(x, t) = ξ t hence volume velocity u(x, t) = Av(x, t) (Relative) air pressure p(x, t) = 1 κ ξ x E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

13 Wave equation for a tube Consider elemental volume Area da Force p da x Volume da dx Mass ρ da dx Force (p+ p / x dx) da Newton s law: F = ma p v dx da = ρ da dx x t p x = ρ v t c 2 2 ξ x 2 = 2 ξ t 2 c = 1 ρκ E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

14 Acoustic tube traveling waves Traveling waves in particle displacement: ξ(x, t) = ξ + (x ct) + ξ (x + ct) Call u + (α) = ca α ξ+ (α), Z 0 = ρc A Then volume velocity: And pressure: u(x, t) = A ξ t = u+ (x ct) u (x + ct) p(x, t) = 1 ξ κ x = Z [ 0 u + (x ct) + u (x + ct) ] (Scaled) sum and difference of traveling waves E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

15 Acoustic traveling waves (2) Different resultants for pressure and volume velocity: c c x Acoustic tube u + u - u(x,t) = u + - u - p(x,t) = Z 0 [u + + u - ] Volume velocity Pressure E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

16 Terminations in tubes Equivalent of fixed point for tubes? Solid wall forces u(x,t) = 0 hence u + = u - u 0 (t) (Volume velocity input) Open end forces p(x,t) = 0 hence u + = -u - Open end is like fixed point for rope: reflects wave back inverted Unlike fixed point, solid wall reflects traveling wave without inversion E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

17 Standing waves Consider (complex) sinusoidal input u 0 (t) = U 0 e jωt Pressure/volume must have form Ke j(ωt+φ) Hence traveling waves: u + (x ct) = A e j( kx+ωt+φ A) u (x + ct) = B e j(kx+ωt+φ B) where k = ω/c (spatial frequency, rad/m) (wavelength λ = c/f = 2πc/ω) Pressure and volume velocity resultants show stationary pattern: standing waves even when A B [simulation sintwavemov.m] E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

18 Standing waves (2) U 0 e jωt kx = π x = λ / 2 pressure = 0 (node) vol.veloc. = max (antinode) For lossless termination ( u + = u ), have true nodes and antinodes Pressure and volume velocity are phase shifted in space and in time E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

19 Transfer function Consider tube excited by u 0 (t) = U 0 e jωt sinusoidal traveling waves must satisfy termination boundary conditions satisfied by complex constants A and B in u(x, t) = u + (x ct) + u (x + ct) = Ae j( kx+ωt) + Be j(kx+ωt) = e jωt (Ae jkx + Be jkx ) standing wave pattern will scale with input magnitude point of excitation makes a big difference... E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

20 Transfer function (2) For open-ended tube of length L excited at x = 0 by U 0 e jωt jωt cos k(l x) u(x, t) = U 0 e cos kl k = ω c (matches at x = 0, maximum at x = L) i.e. standing wave pattern e.g. varying L for a given ω (and hence k): U 0 e jωt U 0 U L U 0 e jωt U 0 U L magnitude of U L depends on L (and ω) E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

21 Transfer function (3) Varying ω for a given L, i.e. at x = L U L u(l, t) = U 0 u(0, t) = 1 cos kl = 1 cos(ωl/c) u(l) u(0) L u(l) at ωl/c = (2r+1)π/2, r = 0,1,2... u(0) Output volume velocity always larger than input Unbounded for L = (2r + 1) πc 2ω = (2r + 1) λ 4 i.e. resonance (amplitude grows without bound) E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

22 Resonant modes For lossless tube with L = m λ 4, m odd, λ wavelength u(l) is unbounded, meaning: u(0) transfer function has pole on frequency axis energy at that frequency sustains indefinitely L = 3 λ 1/ 4 ω 1 = 3ω 0 compare to time domain... e.g cm vocal tract, c = 350 m/s ω 0 = 2π 500 Hz (then 1500, 2500,... ) L = λ 0/ 4 E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

23 Scattering junctions u + k u - k Area A k Area A k+1 u + k+1 u - k+1 At abrupt change in area: pressure must be continuous p k (x, t) = p k+1 (x, t) vol. veloc. must be continuous u k (x, t) = u k+1 (x, t) traveling waves u + k, u- k, u+ k+1, u- k+1 will be different Solve e.g. for u k and u+ k+1 : (generalized term) u + k u - k 1 - r 1 + r + 2r 1 + r 2 r r - 1 r + 1 u + k+1 u - k+1 r = A k+1 A k Area ratio E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

27 Oscillations & musical acoustics Pitch (periodicity) is essence of music why? why music? Different kinds of oscillators simple harmonic motion (tuning fork) relaxation oscillator (voice) string traveling wave (plucked/struck/bowed) air column (nonlinear energy element) E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

28 Simple harmonic motion Basic mechanical oscillation ẍ = ω 2 x x = A cos(ωt + φ) Spring + mass (+ damper) F = kx m ζ x e.g. tuning fork Not great for music fundamental (cos ωt) only relatively low energy ω 2 = k m E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

29 Relaxation oscillator Multi-state process one state builds up potential (e.g. pressure) switch to second (release) state revert to first state, etc. e.g. vocal folds: p u Oscillation period depends on force (tension) easy to change hard to keep stable less used in music E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

34 Effect of rooms (1): Images Ideal reflections are like multiple sources: virtual (image) sources reflected path source listener Early echoes in room impulse response: h room (t) direct path early echos t actual reflections may be h r (t), not δ(t) E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38

35 Effect of rooms (2): Modes Regularly-spaced echoes behave like acoustic tubes Real rooms have lots of modes! dense, sustained echoes in impulse response complex pattern of peaks in frequency response E6820 SAPR (Ellis & Mandel) Acoustics January 29, / 38
