Is there any physical limit to how large a drum can be? Can a drum as large as a building exist today according to current material strength limits?

drum as in container or drum as in musical instrument?

if you were to have the ability to compress the membrane of a huge size then i think the atmospheres your limit

My dream is to design a city built around a giant drum

Does it drum when it rains or when the wind blows?

The resonant frequency of a circular membrane is
[ eqn ] f_{mn}=\frac{.383}{R} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}} [ /eqn ]
Where R is the radius of the drum in meters, T is the tension in N/m, and rho is the density in kg/m^2. Humans can't hear frequencies below 20hz. You do the math.

A drum needs to be under constant tension. It’s a 2D string, essentially. The tension is a function of mass, resonant frequency, and string/drum dimensions. Assuming the frequency stays the same, increasing dimensions would increase tension and mass. Mass, by proxy, increases tension as well. At a certain point, your material would tear under all that stress.

Yep
Is just a large resonance chamber try hitting a radiotelescope

Good plan.

Assuming 500 g/m^2 leather and 2000 N/m, we get
f = .383 x R^-1 x root(4000) = 24.3 R^1
For f = 20 we get R = 1.21 m
So a drum of diameter 2.4m is about the limit with that drum tension/material
None of you faggots did the maths so I did

Congrats, bro. Now compute this for every human hearing frequency and every material if you’re this smart.

>>none of you faggots did the math
factually correct, I don't see any answers here
>>multivariate
yes, so being a good enjener I assumed reasonable values for a couple of variables
>made of leather
chatgpt told me leather has the greatest density per square metre of drum material (good for diameter) of common drum materials, therefore I ran with that
>>arbitrarily
>wants me to solve the equation for all inputs ever and not pick reasonable values for a reasonable answer while clearly stating all assumptions
ok, here's the full equation:
