My recent perception experiments (The Tension Theory of Pitch Production and Perception) show that the physical dimension (length of a string or diameter of a membrane) is an inherent source of force for the vibrating body. I am now trying to see how tension meters measure the tension of a string since they do not seem to take all the physical dimensions of the string (or other bodies) into account.
@ Pooya,
Hi Pooya. Thanks for your answer. I'll try it out with different models of tension meters and see what results I get. But please, does that not conflict with the stiffness of the string?
Thank you very much Pooya. I was told the same thing by the Department of Astronomy, but my investigations came up with very different results. I looked at your list of publications and noted that you must be in really advanced physics and mathematics (if I'm not wrong). I am looking at the tension issue from the standpoint of auditory psychophysics and not in terms of pure physics. The document I'm referring to is my paper The Tension Theory of Pitch Production and Perception. This is the work that led to all the questions I am asking. if you are not in hearing research, the paper may bot be relevant to you area of expertise...
Thank you once again for your help on the matter.
