Active Sound And Vibration Control: Theory and Applications (Control, Robotics and Sensors) - Tapa dura

'this is well-balanced and well-written book in the subject of active control and sound and vibration. It covers both the theory and application of a wide range of modern control techniques and applications. The book benefits from contributions from many internationally recognized specialists and should be essential reading for any researcher or practising engineer in the field.' -- M.N. Sahinkaya * Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering * 'an excellent addition to the literature that, because of the variety of authors, provides a well-balanced presentation of the important area of active noise and vibration control.' -- Steve Daley * IEE Review *

This book presents the established fundamentals in the area of active sound and vibration control (ASVC) as well as exploring the new and emerging technologies and techniques. There has been a considerable amount of effort devoted to the development and realisation of methodologies for the control of sound and vibration, and this book covers the latest theoretical, algorithmic and practical applications including: noise control in 3D propagation, adaptive algorithms, prediction, processing and tuning, neuro-active control, control of microvibrations, and noise reduction in locomotives and vehicles. Topics discussed include multichannel active noise control, adaptive harmonic control, model-free iterative tuning, model-based control design for active vibration control (AVC), ASVC using neural networks, genetic algorithms for ASVC systems, and active noise control (ANC) around the human head. The authors also discuss active control of microvibrations, vibration control of manipulators, and techniques of real-time processing. This book will be essential reading for electrical, mechanical and control engineers, designers and researchers, interested in noise and vibration control.
