Abstract

This work in progress aims at investigating the influence of several parameters on the modal behavior of a grand piano soundboard. The sensitivity analysis is made possible by the development of a fully parameterized Finite Element model of the soundboard which allows the user to modify most geometric and material parameters involved in its dynamic behavior. In addition, crowning and downbearing are included in the model. This study also considers the influence of geometric nonlinearities due to downbearing. The sensitivity analysis is performed using Spearman rank correlation and Sobol indices.
