ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for active structural acoustic control (ASAC) of sound radiation from and noise transmission through a structure. The method derives acoustic far-field information, corresponding to a `virtual` planar array of microphones, from a vibrational field induced on the structure. The far-field information is used to compute error signals which are provided to an adaptive controller which controls actuators mounted on or embedded in the structure so as to suppress the flexural modes of structure vibration generating acoustic energy. The method is generally applicable to any structure and set of environment boundary conditions. An implementation of the method includes an array of accelerometers mounted on one face of a planar panel, an array of piezoceramic actuators mounted on an opposite panel face, and a frequency-domain adaptive controller utilizing a set of wavenumber-space algorithms.
