Enclosure Active Structure Acoustic Control Based on Multi-Agent System

Abstract

For enclosure noise reduction, limited discrete distributed control is an ideal choice when it is difficult to understand sound-structure coupling characteristics accurately. An enclosure medel of two flexible plates is established in this paper. Two secondary control channels are constructed by applying distributed force on flexible plate. In the basis of control problem decomposition a multi-agent system (MAS) structure is established and the coordination relationship between agents is regulated. The simulaition resultes show the Active Structure Acoustic Control based on MAS is effective. The MAS control method improves the extension of noise control system and can be used in “plug-and–play” control field to realize noise reduction. MAS is a better effective tool to realize the divide-and-conquer approach in enclosure noise control field.
