Abstract

In such bodies, in particular resonance bodies for musical instruments and the like, there is the problem of being able to adjust the spectrum of natural frequencies in the sense of an accentuation or attenuation or of a balanced variation in certain specifiable frequency ranges. In this connection, the vibration behaviour of the solid body is governed by the spatial, i.e. one- to three-dimensional distribution of the vibration parameters, especially the elastic deformation rigidity and the density or mass per unit area, based on, for example, the surface of the vibrating body. To solve the problem, it is proposed to arrange the spacial distribution of the vibration parameters in accordance with a subdivision (G, G1) having a plurality of superimposed series (R, R1, R2 ...) of regions of increased or reduced deformation rigidity, vibrating mass, vibration damping, surface curvature or bulging, or the like. At the same time, these regions are arranged essentially in an equidistant manner within a series. As an alternative to this or in conjunction with it, a subdivision with regions of the above type is suitable, the distances of the regions from one another being in the ratio of the members of a harmonic series. <IMAGE>
