Abstract: Colocated, output feedback is commonly used in the control of reverberant systems. More often than not, the system to be controlled displays high modal density at a moderate frequency, and ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to explore practical limitations associated with the design of distributed modal sensors from induced strain materials for two-dimensional structures and illuminate ...

Abstract: Loudspeakers are commonly used as actuators in active noise control applications. In this work, a loudspeaker is compensated so that it approximates a constant volume velocity source over 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: 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 ...

Abstract: This work addresses the design and application of robust controllers for structural acoustic control. Both simulation and experimental results are presented. H∞ and μ-synthesis design methods were ...
