On the vibrations generated by wooden church bells
Keywords:
wooden church, vibrations, bell, clapper, double pendulumAbstract
In Maramure? County, Romania, there is Bude?ti Josani wooden church inscribed on the World Heritage List. The major deterioration of its 18th and 19th paintins represent a big problem in restoration program. The vibrations generated by the bells produced cracks and detachments in the paintings layer. In order to calculate the oscillations of a bell, the bell and its clapper were simulated as a double pendulum.
