The Dynamics of a Ringing Church Bell

Figure 8

Ratios of velocity jumps at adjacent pairs of impacts, for low-amplitude bounces against a stationary bell as described in the text. The labelling of the horizontal axis indicates the relevant pair of impacts: 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and so on. Data from five different bells are combined. Circles show the mean of each group.
