Abstract
AbstractMandar is a percussion musical instrument used in the eastern part of India. It is popular among the tribe people and is similar to Mridangam and Dhol. This is widely used in Jharkhand, West Bengal and near boarder region. There is no analytical numerical and experimental analyses documentation available on it. The primary objective of this study is to understand the behavior of vibration of the mandar membrane and to justify whether it is following harmonics? This is justified by experimental and numerical analyses. The numerical analysis is performed in the ‘FEA SOFTWARE (Simulia Abaqus 6.14),’ and the experimental analysis is performed by using Chladni’s experimental setup which helps us to extract the mode shapes of the vibrating mandar membrane. On the basis of both experimental and numerical analyses, we found the mode shape of mandar membrane does not follow harmonics.KeywordsMandar membrane vibrationExperimental analysisNumerical analysisMode shapesChladni’s setupFEA (Abaqus)
