Application of computer methods in music composition using smart nanobeams

The paper considers one of the new applications of computer methods in music composition, using smart nanobeams-an integration of advanced computational techniques with new, specially designed materials for enhanced performance capabilities in music composition. The research applies some peculiar properties of smart nanobeams, embedded with piezoelectric materials that modulate and control sound vibrations in real-time. The study is conducted to determine the effects of changes in the length, thickness of nanobeams and the applied voltage on acoustical properties and the tone quality of musical instruments with the help of numerical simulations and optimization algorithms. By means of piezo-elasticity theory, different governing equations of nanobeam systems can be derived, which are solved by the numerical method to predict the dynamic behavior of the system under different conditions. Results show that manipulation of the parameters allows great control over pitch, timbre, and resonance of the instrument; such a system offers new ways in which composers and performers can create music. This research also validates the computational model against available theoretical data, proving the accuracy and possible applications of the former. The work thus marks a large step towards the intersection of music composition with smart material technology, and, when further developed, it would mean that smart nanobeams could revolutionize the process for composing and performing music on these instruments.
