Abstract
Application of conventional active noise control (ANC) to the mid-frequency band (>200 Hz) in vibroacoustic cavities has been technically restricted owing to the complex acoustic field generated by the use of multiple output speakers. However, as noise control in such frequency bands is essential for modern electric vehicles, this study proposes and demonstrates a novel method for ANC in a vibroacoustic cavity using an inertial vibration actuator. To this end, a prototype actuator is designed using a finite element analysis, and it exhibits a dynamic force of ∼11.3 mN/Vp-p in the usable frequency band (450–750 Hz). An ANC controller for the prototype actuator was implemented on a real-time digital signal processor using a filtered-x least mean squares (FxLMS) algorithm. The ANC system performance is evaluated in a 700 mm × 650 mm × 450 mm rectangular vibroacoustic cavity with a vibrating surface on one side. The proposed ANC system successfully suppresses multiple harmonics associated with the acoustic cavity modes by up to 12 dB at predominant peaks. Moreover, the system operates stably under a wideband (300 Hz) frequency sweep using a single inertial actuator optimally positioned on the structure. The study results indicate that the proposed ANC method shows considerable promise as a replacement for conventional speaker-assisted methods for ANC in vibroacoustic cavities.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
