The Synergy Between Nature, Art, Musical Culture, Engineering And Education - A Model Of Interdisciplinary Use Of Wood 1: Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania; 2: Romanian Society of Acoustics, 266 Pantelimon, 2 Sector, Office 4, 021652 București, Romania; 3: “Dunărea de Jos” University of Galati, Str. Domnească nr.111, Galaţi, 800201, Romania; 4: Tilia- Art Light Brăila, Bdul. Alexandru Ioan Cuza 231, Brăila, 810125, Romania; 5: National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Splaiul Independentei no. 313, sector 6, Bucharest, 060042, Romania The paper fits into the new concepts for engineering education in higher and vocational education institutions, including emerging technologies in learning. It approaches interdisciplinary and synergistic elements from nature harmoniously combined with modern technologies to highlight some physical and acoustic characteristics of wood. The novelty of paper consists in the use of electronic systems to highlight the chromatic and acoustic resonance properties of the structures of deciduous wood species (oak (Quercus robur Pall.), field elm (Ulmus minor Mill.), downy ash (Fraxinus pallisiae Wilmott), honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos L.), ash (Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle), cherry (Prunus avium L.), plum (Prunus domestica L.). The seven rounds obtained from the listed wood species were mechanically processed and protected against humidity and temperature variations by coatings with transparent varnishes and resins. Their exposure and fixation is achieved using a removable metal structure inspired by biomimetics. The chromaticity of the wood was highlighted with high-power LED-COB light sources designed and executed using 3D printing, using a design inspired by nature. The acoustic resonance of each species is highlighted by playing the audio recording of the seven resonance frequencies corresponding to the mentioned species. These frequencies were extracted by processing the acoustic signals with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis following experimental modal analysis. From a musical point of view, the sounds obtained represent the pentatonic system frequently used in Afro-American music - bluess. The work highlights this aspect by correlating the sound source with the light indicators placed in the proximity of each woody species. The technologies involved in the paper range from CAD design, CNC machining, finishing and stabilization with advanced materials, 3D printing, testing and signal processing, electrical diagram design and incorporation of electronic lighting and acoustic systems. | |
