Abstract

Modal analysis for examination of the possibility of the global reduction of broadband noise in a rectangular enclosure has been studied in this paper. By developing a modal model of the acoustic environment of the enclosure the shape modes and their frequencies are obtained and on suitable bandwidth for the controller design is calculated. In order to simplify the analysis the noise sources are assumed localized and internal in one corner of the kiosk. The analysis results show that due to the existence of some degenerate modes in this application, the control action is complicated. Simulation results demonstrate how positions and number of loudspeakers and microphones will change the performance of the controller and its corresponding control effort. Based on these results and analysis a reasonable size for the controller and proper locations for sensors and actuators are proposed. Simulation results also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system in reduction of the acoustic potential energy in the kiosk.
