TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply the immersed-boundary method to simulate 2-and 3-dimensional viscous incompressible flows interacting with moving solid boundaries using direct-momentum forcing on a Cartesian grid by combining "solid-body forcing" at solid nodes and interpolation on neighboring fluid nodes.

TL;DR: An efficient difference algorithm for computing directly deformationless solid objects suspended in stratified flow in 2D has been developed in this paper, where objects are represented by colour functions (or density functions) and predicted by a sharpness preserving scheme that is able to prevent the numerical diffusion across the sharp interface.

TL;DR: An accurate prediction of the decay time of electric guitar tones is made possible, whose only requirements are the knowledge of the isolated string dampings and the out-of-plane conductance at the neck of the guitar.
Abstract: Although it can be transformed by various electronic devices, the sound of the solid body electric guitar originates from, and is strongly linked with, the string vibration. The coupling of the string with the guitar alters its vibration and can lead to decay time inhomogeneities. This paper implements and justifies a framework for the study of decay times of electric guitar tones. Two damping mechanisms are theoretically and experimentally identified: the string intrinsic damping and the damping due to mechanical coupling with the neck of the guitar. The electromagnetic pickup is shown to not provide any additional damping to the string. The pickup is also shown to be far more sensitive to the out-of-plane polarization of the string. Finally, an accurate prediction of the decay time of electric guitar tones is made possible, whose only requirements are the knowledge of the isolated string dampings and the out-of-plane conductance at the neck of the guitar. This prediction can be of great help for instrument makers and manufacturers.

TL;DR: A soundboard is formed of a generally planar material attached to the solid material, so as to substantially cover the cavity as mentioned in this paper, which is the case of a guitar body and a soundboard.
Abstract: A guitar body is formed of a generally solid material having a cavity formed therein and substantially lacking a soundboard. A soundboard is formed of a generally planar material attached to the solid material, so as to substantially cover the cavity.

TL;DR: The split-body electric guitar as mentioned in this paper consists of two body plates, a front body plate and a back body plate, the opposing inside surfaces of which are in proximity but not in contact except where joined at a solid core.
Abstract: Described are split body electric guitars and electric basses. The guitar body consists of two body plates, a front body plate and a back body plate, the opposing inside surfaces of which are in proximity but not in contact except where joined at a solid core. The body may be shaped to provide internal acoustic chambers, which may be adapted for mounting of electronics. Optionally, an output jack is mounted internally to one of the body plates.
