A new sensing strategy based on acoustic radiation modes for active structural acoustic control approach is proposed for the minimization of the acoustic radiation from a vibrating simply supported plate. Measuring a few points velocity on the vibrating surface and solving the underdetermined equations of the radiation mode expansion, the approximate values of amplitudes of the first radiation modes can be obtained. Taking the above approximate amplitudes as the input signals of the controller, this forms an error sensing strategy based on radiation modes and corresponding active control strategy. The numerical simulations results are presented to show the feasibility of this error sensing strategy.

We investigate the vehicle platoon problems, where the actuator saturation and absent velocity measurement are taken into consideration. Firstly, a novel algorithm, where a smooth function is introduced to deal with the sharp corner of the input signals, is proposed for a group of vehicles with actuator saturation by using the consensus theory. Secondly, by applying an auxiliary system for the followers to estimate the velocities, a control strategy for the vehicle platoon with actuator saturation and absent velocity measurement is designed via the adaptive control approach. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Abstract Structural acoustic control via passive and hybrid electrical shunting of a piezoceramic wafer bonded onto the surface of a simply supported plate is investigated with emphasis on modeling and understanding the effect of piezoceramic nonlinearity on system performance. A nonlinear rate-independent finite-dimension Ishlinskii hysteresis model is experimentally identified for the PZT wafer by itself and then integrated into the coupled dynamic equations of the overall system consisting of the plate and electrically shunted PZT wafer. This model is then used to investigate the impact of PZT hysteresis on its structural acoustic control performance in passive and hybrid scenarios. A multi-term describing function representation of the Ishlinskii hysteresis model is formulated to aid in computational studies.

The weighted sum of spatial gradients (WSSG) control minimization parameter is developed for use in active structural acoustic control (ASAC) on a clamped flat rectangular plate. The WSSG minimization parameter is measured using four accelerometers grouped closely together on the test structure. In previous work, WSSG was developed on a simply supported flat rectangular plate and showed promise as a control metric. The displacement on the clamped plate has been modeled using an approximate analytical solution assuming shape functions corresponding to clamped-clamped beams. From the analytical formulation, weights, which were found to be the reciprocal of the wave number squared, have been derived to produce a uniform WSSG field across the plate. In active control simulations, this quantity has been shown to provide better global control of acoustic radiation than volume velocity. Analysis is presented which shows that comparable control, regardless of the sensor location, can be achieved using WSSG. Experimental results are presented which demonstrate that WSSG works effectively in practice, with results similar to the simulations. The results show that minimization of WSSG can be used as an effective control objective on clamped rectangular plates to achieve attenuation of acoustic radiation.

Active structural acoustic control is an active control method that controls a vibrating structure in a manner that reduces the sound power radiated from the structure. Such methods focus on attenuating some metric that results in attenuated sound power, while not necessarily minimizing the structural vibration. The work reported here outlines the weighted sum of spatial gradients (WSSG) control metric as a method to attenuate structural radiation. The WSSG method utilizes a compact error sensor that is able to measure the acceleration and the acceleration gradients at the sensor location. These vibration signals are combined into the WSSG metric in a manner that is closely related to the radiated sound power, such that minimizing the WSSG also results in a minimization of the sound power. The connection between WSSG and acoustic radiation modes will be highlighted. Computational and experimental results for both flat plates and cylindrical shells will be presented, indicating that the WSSG method can achieve near optimal attenuation of the radiated sound power with a minimum number of sensors.

This paper presents a new strategy for the design of radiation mode sensors by using shaped PVDF films for one-dimension structures. Based on a modal approach, the shape of a PVDF sensor is analytically determined in such a way that the output signal of the sensor is directly proportional to amplitude of a particular radiation mode. Other modes are filtered out. A general expression of the PVDF sensor shape is obtained. It is found that the modal sensor shape can be expressed as a function of the second spatial derivative of the structural mode shape function. Finally, with an example of a vibrating beam, the proposed PVDF radiation mode sensor is used in an active structural acoustic control system for reduction of the structural-borne noise.

The article presents simulation results on the active control strategy for a railway pantograph to improve contact quality in pantograph–catenary interface. Three different approaches were investigated: nominal torque tuning, torque active control and combination of them—combined control approach. The first control scenario minimizes the pantograph nominal uplift force exerted on the catenary. The second approach is based on active pantograph toque control, employing the proportional–integral–derivative controller, to compensate actual contact force error. The last control scenario links the above-mentioned approaches. Promising results are obtained employing the co-simulation environment recently presented by the authors.
