Abstract
Active control algorithms are widely used in enclosed-space noise control with the nonlinearities of secondary-source loudspeakers ignored. Inspired by nonlinear energy transfer resulting from nonlinear stiffness, this work concerns using a nonlinear loudspeaker to improve enclosed-space noise control. An enclosed-space active noise control system with a nonlinear loudspeaker is modeled. Based on the model, an approximate frequency response function of the noise control system is derived analytically via the harmonic balance method and verified using numerical methods. A globally consistent and bounded Lyapunov function is derived. The effects of the mass, nonlinear stiffness, volume, and area ratio on the noise reduction are also explored. Both analytical and numerical results demonstrate that the improved nonlinear loudspeaker is effective in improving the low-power characteristics of the loudspeaker, increasing noise reduction and improving fault-tolerant and robustness of the active noise control system.
