For enclosure noise reduction, limited discrete distributed control is an ideal choice when it is difficult to understand sound-structure coupling characteristics accurately. An enclosure medel of two flexible plates is established in this paper. Two secondary control channels are constructed by applying distributed force on flexible plate. In the basis of control problem decomposition a multi-agent system (MAS) structure is established and the coordination relationship between agents is regulated. The simulaition resultes show the Active Structure Acoustic Control based on MAS is effective. The MAS control method improves the extension of noise control system and can be used in “plug-and–play” control field to realize noise reduction. MAS is a better effective tool to realize the divide-and-conquer approach in enclosure noise control field.
This paper develops a model of structural-acoustic coupled system of a rectangular enclosure involving two simply supported flexible plates. The acoustical potential energy and the optimal secondary control forces are derived theoretically. An example is presented to analyze the characteristics of the coupled system, the dominant factors that impact the coupling effects and the noise reduction with ASAC method. The paper shows the possibility of applying distributed cooperative control method to the structural-acoustic coupled system.
The research on enclosure noise control is caused more and more attention. The key of noise control is to grasp physical essence about enclosure sound-structure coupling field. The research work has been carried out on a enclosure model of two simly supported flexible plate and four rigid plates. The research is focused on sound –structure coupling field analysis of the enclosure when applying primary forces on two flexible plate simutaneously. At the constraint condition of average acoustic potential energy(AAPE) formulars of enclosure sound–structure coupling field is derivated. The simulation show the follow conclusion: first, the wave energy transfer path is from primary force flexible plate to acoustic cavity, then to another flexible plate, and then feedback to acoustic cavity. Second, when structural natural frequences are the same as acoustic natural frequencies of the enclosure, the noise reach the maximum value. The third, when applying primary force on Plate a and on Plate b simutaneously, the wave energy transfer path and The relation of sound-structure coupling are more complex than only applying force on one plate.
