This thesis presents vibration analysis of the top plate of Stradivari violin by creating a 3D model using SolidWorks and finding mode shapes and natural frequencies using SolidWorks simulation. The top plate was affixed to the bottom plate via a side wall following the contour of the violin plates. Assuming the input excitation is sinusoidal, it was applied at the location of bridge where the strings rest on it.. The static component of the force was calculated to be 83.17 N. The first five natural frequencies of the violin top plate are in the range of 150 to 450 Hertz. …
