Acoustics 1991: Active structural acoustic control

Abstract

In summary, the ASAC technique has demonstrated much potential in aerospace and marine applications. Future work will center on extending these techniques to broadband disturbances, more complex structures and improved modeling. It is known that optimizing transducer positions is as important as increasing the number of control channels. A multidisciplinary approach is required to synthesize a design procedure that integrates the elements of structural acoustics, transducer, and control technology. The pay off will be in significant cost and weight savings, and in performance improvements for other industrial applications.
