Harmonic Undriven Motion Modelling Utility Software (HUMMUS)

Stressed wire modeling.

Inspiration

We think that classical physics is beautiful and as exciting as "modern stuff". Simple problems like plucking can create beautiful complex that intersects with heavy concepts like Fourier analysis and wave decomposition.

What it does

We have modelled the vibration created by plucking a string in an arbitrary point along it. We can also decipher the rich and complex sound produced by it.

How we built it

We implemented Fourier equations into our python code and modeled the sound and the visual behavior of a wire under stress.

Challenges we ran into

Time was definitely a critical factor. Finishing everything in time was our biggest challenge. Nevertheless, we came through with a solid project.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Considering our level of physics and lack of knowledge in both coding and Fourier Analysis. We are all proud of each other for being able make this project come into fruition. Go team HUMMUS!

What we learned

We have learned a lot about coding and how to work as a team. Our passion for learning makes up for lack of knowledge about coding! We have also developed our social muscle by working with other teams and trying to understand their project.
