Abstract: This study presents a software design tool for solving active noise control problems in irregularly shaped cavities with continuous and noncontinuous design variables and appropriate constraints. ...

Abstract: In duct acoustics, analytical solutions are difficult to obtain because of the presence of flow, boundary impedance, and complicated geometry. A Galerkin isoparametric finite element based on a ...

Abstract: The branch-and-bound method was originally developed to cope with difficulties caused by discontinuous design variables in linear programming. When the branch-and-bound method is applied to solve nonlinear programming (NLP) ...
