| Article Name : | | | A MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE POSITION AND METHOD OF PLUCKING A GUITAR STRING FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY BETWEEN FUNDAMENTAL TONE AND OVERTONES | | Author Name : | | | Joyanta Sarkar, Utpal Biswas | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ROR-1845 | | Article : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | This investigation aims to develop a mathematical model for prescribing the behavior of an idealized vibrating string. By mathematical model we can calculate theoretical amplitudes for the different harmonics, based on the extent and position of the pluck. In this paperwe are presenting an investigation on the influence of the position and method of plucking a guitar string for the distribution of energy between fundamental tone and overtones. It was done by recording sound samples from an acoustic guitar, and numerically analyzing the data using computer software. Conclusively, it is stated that there were more overtones produced when the string was plucked close to the edge of the guitar. Since the paper was a physics investigation, it examined the matter experimentally, presenting little to no mathematical explanations for the results. | | Keywords : | | - Fourier series ,Fourier series ,Fourier series ,Fourier series ,
