Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Active feedforward control of flexural waves in an acoustic black hole terminated beam" ?
However, it is anticipated that a modified control strategy compared to that proposed in this paper would be required since the concept of reflection control does not readily extend to a two-dimensional structure, such as a plate.
Q3. What is the performance of an ABH in the beam-based literature?
In the beam-based ABH literature, the performance of an ABH is generally assessed in terms of its reflection coefficient and an ideal ABH performs as an anechoic termination, absorbing the incident energy so that there is no reflection.
Q4. What is the primary disturbance to perform wave-based active control?
To perform wave-based active control, the primary disturbance must first be decomposed into the incident and reflected wave components.
Q5. What is the effect of the peaks in the reflection coefficient?
These peaks in the reflection coefficient are related to the rapid phase change associated with lightly damped resonances in the structure leading to narrowband errors between the plant model and the physical plant; the effects of this are exacerbated in the real-time results due to finite precision effects.
Q6. How many coefficients can be used in a wave-based control system?
the performance of a wave-based control system has been shown to be fairly robust to inaccuracies in the wave decomposition filter responses [37] and so a relatively small number of coefficients can be used in practice.
Q7. What is the effect of active control on the response within the beam terminations?
the effects of active control on the response within the beam terminations has been investigated and it has been shown that the AABH significantly enhances the vibration in the termination compared to the constant thickness active beam configuration.
Q8. Why is the AABH able to achieve more broadband attenuation than the constant?
On this note, it is important to highlight that the AABH without control (i.e. when the control filter length is zero) achieves 4 dB more broadband attenuation than the constant thickness beam, which corresponds to the passive performance achieved via the ABH effect.
Q9. How long does the broadband attenuation increase for the control filter?
The increase in broadband attenuation is initially quite rapid, however, for control filter lengths greater than 350 coefficients the broadband attenuation increases by less than 1 dB for all of the controllers.
Q10. Why is the graph in Figure 8 also showing the performance of the AABH?
the plots in Figure 8 also show the performance when the optimal control filter solution for the constant thickness beam is regularised such that the required peak-to-peak voltage is equal to that required by the optimal AABH solution.
Q11. How many coefficients have been used in the control filters?
In both cases, 350 coefficientshave been used in the control filters, as defined according to the investigation presented in Section 3.3.1, and the optimal control filters have been calculated using equation (24).
Q12. What is the reflection coefficient for the purely passive ABH?
In this case it can be seen that the dips in the reflection coefficient are lower for the purely passive ABH than the uncontrolled AABH due to the greater level of damping provided by the viscoelastic material.
Q13. What is the advantage of the active feedforward control strategy?
This is a potentially significant advantage because itcan be used to reduce the computational requirements of implementing the active feedforward control strategy outlined in Section 2.2 on a DSP system.
