Abstract

Vibration and sound characteristics of King Song-Dok Bell are measured and the modal property is investigated. The effect of striking position and modal property on the beat characteristics is examined. It is first found that the beat characteristics are quite different according to the position on the bell surface and clear beat is periodically generated on the circumference. It turns out that in King Song-Dok Bell, striking Dangjwa(the present striking position) makes a beat in the first vibration mode, as well as it produces very clear beat in the second vibration mode.
