The Correlation Research of Insects Song Sound Quality and Nano-Mechanical Characteristics

Abstract:

The paper proposed a nanomechanical measurements method according to insect parts biometric friction sound, the nanomechanical measurements were carried out on the cricket and grasshoppers wings, meanwhile, two common insects song signal were collected and the sound quality evaluation parameter vectors were constructed from it. The correlation analysis calculations were made between the nanomechanical properties parameters and the sound quality evaluation parameter vectors. The results show that the nanomechanical properties of biological materials have relevance with the sound quality characteristics, and the average correlation coefficient of the cricket is better, the crickets elastic modulus correlation coefficient with loudness were with the highest average correlation coefficient.
