Abstract

The percussion instrument usually involves some kind of striking. There are so many Thai percussion instrument such as the Ranat, the Cymbal ect. The aim of this analysis to study transverse modes and find out the important parameter to get proper sound frequency which are excited in bars that are struck for example the Ranat and xylophone. The theory of Euler-Bournoulli beam was found in textbook and applied for study the vibration of the Xylophone that the solution of governing equation need four supports thus it is impossible to find the natural frequency of the Ranat and xylophone by Euler-Bournoulli beam theory. In this paper uses the inertia relief method by finite element analysis to study the sound frequency of the Ranat and xylophone. The result shows that the frequency from finite element analysis is good enough for the sound analysis of percussion instrument better than Euler-Bournoulli beam theory. The arches bars are major parameter to generate sound frequency.
