Dataset-Examination of the static and dynamic bridge force components of a bowed string

The dataset contains the raw and processed measurement, together with the source code (MATLAB), as supplement material of the paper “Examination of the static and dynamic bridge force components of a bowed string”. The study aimed to introduce a sensing bridge capable of measuring the static and dynamic components of the bridge force, and to perform an exploratory measurement campaign. We measured and analysed the static and dynamic components of the bridge force in the process of bowing a cello string using a robotic arm. The use of robotic arm permitted to finely control the bowing parameters (bow position, bow speed, and bow force) during the excitation.
