Study of the Mechanical Behaviour of a Clarinet Reed Under Forced and Auto‐oscillations With Digital Fresnel Holography

  This paper presents methods for vibration analysis using digital Fresnel holography. Methods are based on time averaging for forced oscillations and pulsed recording devoted to auto‐oscillations. The two methods are applied to a clarinet reed. In the forced oscillation regime, the reed is excited by an acoustic wave with controlled frequency and amplitude such that the reconstructed holograms exhibit resolvable Bessel fringes. In the case of the auto‐oscillation regime, the reed is placed in an artificial mouth. Deformation of the clarinet reed can be extracted with the recording of 3150 pulsed digital holograms. Experimental results show the vibration behaviour of the clarinet reed under forced and auto‐oscillation regimes, exhibiting the modal structures and high amplitude shocks.
