Active Noise Control

Active structural acoustic control has been investigated for the reduction of sound transmission and radiation from submarine hulls. Piezoelectric actuators embedded in composite laminates were fabricated for actively controlling the structural modes of a plate. Efficient acoustic radiating modes were targetted such that the controller would shift vibration energy to less efficient modes, thus reducing the acoustic radiation. This work was performed at MIT for the Office of Naval Research.
