Abstract: The use of block-independent control is investigated for active damping of a flexible structure. The control gains are designed to approximate Uniform Damping Control, in which the target modal ...

Abstract: An overview of the recent development of tuned vibration absorbers (TVAs) for vibration and noise suppression is presented. The paper summarizes some popular theory for analysis and optimal ...

Abstract: Structural controls have been recently used to reduce acoustic radiation from vibrating structures. It is well known that in some cases, a control system can reduce the noise and, at the same ...
