Structural acoustics is the study of how elastic structures radiate or receive sound, and in its most fundamental form involves the simultaneous solution of the differential equations describing the structure and fluid media with appropriate boundary conditions between the two, i.e., a "fully" coupled analysis. This paper will review the state-ofthe-art of active control utilizing shape memory alloy hybrid composites and present experimental results showing active dynamic tuning by a method called active strain energy tuning (ASET), active control of sound radiation from a clamped-baffled beam, and transient vibration control of a cantilevered beam.9 pagesapplication/pdfen-USIn CopyrightShape memory effectComposite materialsStructural acousticsRadiation monitoringStructural beam vibrationsArticle - Refereedhttp://scitation.aip.org/content/asa/journal/jasa/88/6/10.1121/1.399683https://doi.org/10.1121/1.399683
