Abstract:The development of a new class of passive vibration and acoustic suppression systems is presented. The approach is to transfer the energy from one mechanical system to another using reversible piezoelectric transducers connected with a passive electric circuit. Response of the first system is suppressed while exciting the response of the second system. The two mechanical systems can be physically separated structures, or different mechanical modes of a single structure. The passive electric circuit is a networ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
