Active control of simply supported cylindrical shells using the weighted sum of spatial gradients control metric

Abstract

It is often desired to reduce sound radiated from cylindrical shells. Active structural acoustic control (ASAC) provides a means of controlling the structural vibration in a manner to efficiently reduce the radiated sound. Previous work has often required a large number of error sensors to reduce the radiated sound power, and the control performance has been sensitive to the location of error sensors. The ultimate objective is to provide global sound power reduction using a minimal number of local error measurements, while also minimizing any dependence on error sensor locations. Recently, a control metric referred to as weighted sum of spatial gradients (WSSG) was developed for ASAC. Specific features associated with WSSG make this method robust under a variety of conditions. In this work, the WSSG control metric is extended to curved structures, specifically a simply supported cylindrical shell. It is shown that global attenuation of the radiated sound power is possible using only one local error measurement. It is shown that the WSSG control metric provides a solution approximating the optimal solution of attenuating the radiated sound power, with minimal dependence on the error sensor location. Numerical and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

An experimental investigation into active structural acoustic cloaking of a flexible cylinder

“…By directly controlling the structure, a global reduction in radiated sound power can be achieved with a lower number of control sources than with conventional active noise control. When combined with a remote sensing strategy, ASAC has the advantage that the entire control system can be contained within the structure, without the requirement for far-field transducers [25,26,27].…”

“…These insufficient aspects have prompted the research into applying active control techniques [8]. This method applies secondary sound or vibration sources to generate an anti-phase signal to actively cancel the primary noise and vibration [9]-which is effective for controlling low frequency noise and vibration. The active control system normally contains the digital controller, control sources and error sensors.…”
