Abstract: A closed, elastic cylindrical shell is used as a simple model of the aircraft’s fuselage. For reducing the vibration of the fuselage and the subsequent interior sound pressure due to the ...

Abstract: Experimental results from vibration excitation of a simply supported plate with multiple patches of piezoceramic material bonded to the surface are compared to theoretical predictions for the ...

Abstract: This work describes a range of issues relating to the implementation of active control for noise and vibration problems. It is important in the commercialization of this technology to consider ...

Abstract: The behavior of two dimensional patches of piezoelectric material bonded to the surface of elastic distributed structures and used as vibration actuators is analytically investigated. A static ...

Abstract: A preliminary experimental investigation is carried out to assess the feasibility of the adaptive feedforward control approach for the response reduction of structures excited by seismic ground motions. Although adaptive ...

Abstract: An experiment was performed to investigate the implementation of shaped PVDF modal sensors on a simply supported rectangular plate to control specific modes of the vibration. The plate was ...
