Active control of noise and vibration

Written for all those involved in the active control of noise and vibration, both in industry and the academic field, this study breaks new ground in the field.

In the first half of the book, the authors explore the fundamental concepts underlying the various sub-disciplines of active noise vibration control.

They explain how active control systems can be designed and implemented in practice, and show the pitfalls which must be avoided to ensure a reliable and stable system.

They then apply these concepts to practical systems, and among many other subjects discuss in detail the active control of: sound in ducts sound radiation sound transmission into enclosures structural vibration and isolation electronic control system design and sensors and actuators This major work is the first to treat the active control of both sound and vibration in a unified way, and describes the state-of-the-art in developments and research.
