The feedforward active control of harmonic vibratory power transmission along a semi-infinite plate of finite width has been investigated analytically. One end of the plate was terminated anechoically, the other end was free and the remaining two sides were simply supported. Primary and control sour

โฆ Synopsis
An active control approach that reduces transient noise transmission through a plate in a circular duct is presented. Two circular pieces of piezoceramic material are used as actuators to induce a moment in the plate. A model for this configuration is developed and then used in an H2 optimal control procedure to design a dynamic feedforward/feedback controller. In the experiment the forward travelling wave is estimated from the measurements of two microphones. This information is used as the feedforward signal, while the velocity of the center of the plate is measured with a laser vibrometer and used as the feedback signal. The discretized controller is implemented on a digital signal processor (DSP). A transient pressure pulse is used to excite the plate, and reductions of up to 15 dB are observed at a microphone placed downstream of the plate when the controller is active.
