A modal approach to piano soundboard vibroacoustic behavior

Résumé

This paper presents an analytical method for modeling the vibro-acoustic behavior of ribbed nonrectangular orthotropic clamped plates. To do this, the non-rectangular plate is embedded in an extended rectangular simply supported plate on which a spring distribution is added, blocking the extended part of the surface, and allowing the description of any inner surface shapes. The acoustical radiation of the embedded plate is ensured using the radiation impedances of the extended rectangular simply supported plate. This method is applied to an upright piano soundboard: a non-rectangular orthotropic plate ribbed in both directions by several straight stiffeners. A modal decomposition is adopted on the basis of the rectangular extended simply supported plate modes, making it possible to calculate the modes of a piano soundboard in the frequency range [0;3000] Hz, showing the different associated mode families. Likewise, the acoustical radiation is calculated using the radiation impedances of a simply supported baffled plate, demonstrating the influence of the string coupling point positions on the acoustic radiated power. The paper ends with the introduction of indicators taking into account spatial and spectral variations of the excitation depending on the notes, which add to the accuracy of the study from the musical standpoint. A parametrical study, which includes several variations of soundboard design, highlights the complexity of rendering high-pitched notes homogeneous.
