Torsional waves in a bowed string
Eric Bavu, John Smith, Joe Wolfe
Bowing a string with a non-zero radius exerts a torque, which excites torsional waves. In general, torsional standing waves have higher fundamental frequencies than do transverse s…

Rotationnal and translational waves in a bowed string
Eric Bavu, Manfred Yew, Pierre-Yves Placais +2
We measure and compare the rotational and transverse velocity of a bowed string. When bowed by an experienced player, the torsional motion is phase-locked to the transverse waves,…
