Abstract: Acoustic modeling and control of conical enclosures with an actuator boundary condition is presented. Acoustic impedances are coupled with electrical and mechanical actuator dynamics to generate ...

Abstract: Ionomeric polymers are a promising class of intelligent material which exhibit electromechanical coupling similar to that of piezoelectric bimorphs. Ionomeric polymers are much more compliant than ...

Abstract: An on-line identification and control algorithm is developed based on the properties of collocated sensing and actuation. The feedback control law consists of second-order compensators that achieve ...

Abstract: The chief tool for design of viscoelastic-based damping treatments over the past 20 years has been the modal strain energy (MSE) approach. This approach to damping design traditionally has ...
