Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the principal features of smart panels equipped with feed-forward and feedback systems for the control of the flexural response and sound transmission due respectively to tonal and to stochastic broadband disturbances. The smart panels are equipped with two types of actuators: first, distributed piezoelectric actuators formed either by small piezoelectric patches or large piezoelectric films bonded on the panels and second, point actuators formed by proof-mass electromagnetic transducers. Also, the panels encompass three types of sensors: first, small capacitive microphone sensors placed in front of the panels; second, distributed piezoelectric sensors formed by large piezoelectric films bonded on the panels and third point sensors formed by miniaturized accelerometers. The proposed systems implement both single-channel and multi-channel feed-forward and feedback control architectures. The study shows that, the vibration and sound radiation control performance of both feed-forward and feedback systems critically depends on the sensor-actuator configurations.
