Comparison of passive and active methods for sound radiation reduction from the clamped plate
(2010) Kozupa, Michał; Wiciak, Jerzy
The paper is an analytical and experimental study of smart structure, which consist of steel plate with bonded PZTs and porous elastomer layer. Active control of sound radiation from a clamped at the edge square plate is examined. Simulations and numerical computation of the experiment are performed in ANSYS environment. Calculations of plate vibration and sound radiation under stepped harmonic force are performed. The experimental set-up is placed in coupled reverberation chambers and the test plate is placed in the hole. A variety o test cases were studied for three different plates: steel plate + PZT, steel plate + elastomer layer, steel plate + PZT + elastomer layer. The aim of the paper is to illustrate the possibilities of using piezoelectric materials as an active control and elastomer layers as passive methods in one structure to improve the transmission loss.

Modelling and control of structure-acoustic interaction problems via piezoceramic actuators
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2005) Leniowska, Lucyna
Active control of vibration suppression of a circular fluid-loaded plate is analytically studied. The purpose of this theoretical work is to present a general model of a planar vibrating structure located in a finite baffle and interacted with fluid as well as its time response on harmonic excitation when a control strategy is applied. The structure under study is a vibrating circular plate of radius a, having a constant thickness h, to which centrally placed circular shaped piezoeleetric ceramic patches of radius a1 a are bonded. They are used to cancel the plate vibrations and related sound field when a controlling voltage is applied. It was assumed, that the plate clamped at the edge is excited on one side by a uniform periodic force with a constant amplitude F0 and it radiates the acoustic waves into a surrounded fluid of density Po. The control problem lies in using piezoceramic actuators working in a pair to reduce the plate vibrations. For the system under consideration the state-space model is constructed. The modern control theory is then applied to the system model using a linear quadratic regulator (LQR). The simulations of the active attenuation of the plate vibrations were made with a MATLAB/Simulink computer program, The results demonstrate that it is possible to achieve a significant reduction of the vibration amplitude with the use of a pair PZT actuators.

Sound insulation analysis of plates with piezoceramic elements
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2007) Kozupa, Michał; Batko, Wojciech; Pietrzko, Stanisław
This paper represents general idea research to the possibilities of increasing sound insulation of plates by active control it's vibration through piezoceramic elements placed on the plane. In the preliminary research a rectangular plate 455x560 mm made of steal was analyzed. Sound insulation measurement was executed on a specialized enclosure in reverberation chamber. A PZT piezoceramic was proposed to control vibration of the plate.
