Detail Page

written by Paul Falstad
This applet simulates a circular membrane which can be 'poked' or 'struck' with the mouse. Normal modes, one or several, can be selected. The membrane can be viewed in 2-D or 3-D, with color or without, solid or wireframe. Simulation speed, damping and base frequency for sound are adjustable.  The sound version of the applet only works in Windows and with Microsoft Java VM. A second applet is available for Netscape/Sun Java.

Please note that this resource requires at most version Microsoft VM for sound of Java.
