Modal Analysis of the Flute

The presented bachelor thesis deals with an influence of a fundamental shape and partial sections of flute on frequency of tones. A simple flute is designed and made according to the given formulas. The functionality of the flute is verified by measuring frequencies of each tone. These frequencies are compared with values given analytically and also with values of natural frequencies calculated by finite element method. General information about wind instruments is included in the thesis, too. Besides the clarification of fundamental principles of function of wind instruments, there are also derived fundamental formulas for calculation of natural frequencies of tubes
