CAE-based Design of Active Noise Control Solutions

A key element to bring research advances on intelligent materials to industrial use is that the product CAE models must support such solutions. This involves modeling capabilities for intelligent material systems, sensor and actuator components, control systems as well as their integration in system-level application designs. The final result will then be a multi-attribute optimization approach integrating noise and vibration performance with reliability, durability and cost aspects. As no single integrated solution will fulfill all requirements of the various material and control approaches, the focus of the research is on the use, combination and extension of existing codes and tools.
