Simultaneous optimization of control parameters and placements of piezoelectric patches for active structural acoustic control of shell structures under random excitation

Abstract

Simultaneous optimization of multiple parameters of an active structural acoustic control system under random force excitation is presented in this article. A method integrating the pseudo excitation method, finite element method, and boundary element method is proposed to analyze the random acoustic radiation. The active structural acoustic control of randomly vibrating structures is developed using the velocity feedback control scheme with the help of the pseudo excitation method. The acoustic design optimization model is proposed, in which the auto power spectral density of sound pressure is taken as the objective function and the placements of actuators/sensors as well as control gains are assigned as design variables. Taking into account the operational efficiency and control cost, the number of actuators/sensors and the total actuation energy are considered as constraints. A simulated annealing algorithm is employed for the optimization problem with discrete and continuous variables coexisting. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods and the programs, and several key factors on the optimized designs are also discussed.
