Summary
This paper is concerned with the numerical modeling of noise and vibration reduction of thin radiating structures in the low frequency range by using shunted piezoelectric elements. The aim is to propose an efficient approach able to predict the structures most radiating vibration modes and to attenuate the corresponding resonances by using piezoelectric patches bonded on the structures and connected to resistive or resonant shunt circuits. The first step is to estimate the sound power radiated by the structure and determine the vibration modes to be controlled. In a second step, an original finite element formulation, suitable to any elastic structures with surface-mounted piezoelectric patches, is proposed to solve the electromechanical problem. Finally, numerical examples are presented in order to validate and analyze the proposed approach.
