Improved FULMS Algorithm for Multi-Modal Active Control of Compressor Vibration and Noise Reduction

Assessment and Control of Noise Pollution in Seal Gas Compressor of Reduction Unit 2 of a Steel Industry

Background and aims: Undoubtedly, noise and vibration are major problems of industrial world and lot of people are very exposed to these phenomena in their workplace or residential areas. Researchers have shown that exposure to noise may increase the risks related to personal health, like nervous frailty, extreme irritability, muscle cramps, stress and anxiety, dizziness, headache and migraine,...

Field Programmable Gate Array Implementation of Active Control Laws for Multi-mode Vibration Damping

This paper investigate the possibility and effectiveness of multi-mode vibration control of a plate through real-time FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation. This type of embedded system offers true parallel and high throughput computation abilities. The control object is an aluminum panel, clamped to a Perspex box’s upper side. Two types of control laws are studied. The first belo...

A Method of Adaptation between Steepest- Descent and Newton’s Algorithm for Multi- Channel Active Control of Tonal Noise and Vibration

Active control methods have been applied to a number of practical problems in which it is necessary to control a tonal disturbance. For example, the control of engine noise and vibration in vehicles, propeller noise in aircraft and the vibration produced by reciprocating machinery in many industrial systems. In such applications the steepest-descent algorithm has been widely employed, in part d...
