Handbook of Materials for String Musical Instruments, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016
Auteur : Bucur Voichita
In Romania she was a scientist at the Wood Research Institute in Bucharest until 1978. Then she moved to France where she worked at the Forestry Research Centre in Nancy in charge of the development of acoustic (ultrasonic) nondestructive techniques for quality improvement of wood and wood based products. She was also in charge of the research programmes for PhD and MSci students at the Université "Henri Poincaré" - Nancy, France, for the development of ultrasonic technique in Wood Science. In December 2005 she retired from these positions and moved to Australia.
A member of 5 wood and acoustical societies, Dr Bucur published 6 books and more than 140 articles and other publications, she was a reviewer for journals on wood science, and has 1 patent in France.
Her fields of research encompass development of non-destructive techniques (vibrational, acoustic, ultrasonic , X- rays) for the assessment of the quality of trees, wood products and wood-based composites, mechanical characterisation of materials with non-destructive techniques, wood science and technology, and mechanical characterisation of wood for musical instruments.
Provides insights into the properties of traditional and new materials used in string instruments
Richly illustrated with a large number of photographs
Explains how materials and treatments can contribute to the final aesthetic and acoustical qualities of string instruments
Complements the existing literature on physics and acoustics of string musical instruments
Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
