🔔 NEW: #PennState researchers modeled the acoustic properties of the #LibertyBell using a #20thcentury replica.
By tapping the replica and recording its vibrations with accelerometers, they measured its natural frequencies, mode shapes, and loss factors. The replica’s tuning closely matched ideal Western church bell ratios.
