Abstract

This paper presents an application of resonant piezoelectric shunt damping to reduce sound radiated by a clamped square aluminium plate. The plate is mounted in a duct system and excited by plane waves. The sound radiation of the plate is evaluated by measuring the volume velocity and radiated sound power. Results show a significant reduction of the radiated sound power, if the resonant shunt circuit is tuned around the first natural frequency of the plate. Additionally, the performance of the online-tuned resonant shunt for varying operating conditions is compared with a not online-tuned shunt. It is shown that the online-tuned shunt keeps optimal noise reduction for varying temperature.
