Abstract
The paper presents the influence of acoustic waves caused by bells on a stained-glass window and its components. The issue is particularly important in the context of church towers with bells and stained-glass windows. The free vibrations of a sample stained-glass window were analyzed numerically, with changes related to the thickness of the glass used and the parameters of the lead cames that form the internal metallic structure of a window panel. The obtained results can be generalized to any other sources of acoustic waves and they can constitute the basis for determining the properties of the designer of stained-glass window or introducing additional barriers to avoid the phenomenon of resonance.
