Nowadays, requirements for acoustic treatments in rooms are ever more demanding in terms of performance and compactness. A recurring issue in closed spaces is the occurrence of standing waves and acoustic interferences at low frequencies. These unwanted ph ...

Variable acoustic properties can be obtained at the diaphragm of a loudspeaker, with the help of very basic control strategies, among which is the simple electrical shunting of the transducer. These shunt techniques have been demonstrated to present singul ...

Engineers dealing with noise reduction in habitations close to transportation traffic or indus-trial facilities encounter several problems to decrease noise level in rooms at low frequencies. Passive materials and current building construction knowledge en ...

This paper discusses the implementation of a synthetic electrical admittance for controlling the dynamics of electroacoustic absorbers. Indeed, different basic control techniques are capable of varying the acoustic impedance of an electroacoustic transduce ...

The control of low-frequency sound fields can be addressed efficiently through acoustic impedance matching. Basically, the diaphragm of electroacoustic transducers are used as refracting surface that controls the reaction of the boundaries in any surroundi ...

Sound absorption can be achieved in a relatively simple manner with passive or active electroacoustic absorbers. Electroacoustic absorbers are basically loudspeakers, the membrane of which is used as an absorber/reflector of sound, and the electric termina ...

This paper presents a methodology for the design of broadband electroacoustic resonators for low-frequency room equalization. An electroacoustic resonator denotes a loudspeaker used as a membrane resonator, the acoustic impedance of which can be modified t ...

In closed spaces, standing waves occur at low frequencies, thus creating annoying acoustic resonances. Such unwanted phenomena are likely to affect the annoyance of noise sources in the low frequency range. Up to date, low-frwquency treatments are mainly b ...

The acoustic impedance at the diaphragm of an electroacoustic transducer can be varied using a range of basic electrical control strategies, amongst which are electrical shunt circuits. These passive shunt techniques are compared to active acoustic feedbac ...

This paper discusses a time-domain technique for synthesizing acoustic impedance at the diaphragm of a loudspeaker using a proportional-plus-derivative output feedback. The dynamics of electroacoustic transducers such as moving-coil loudspeakers can be rea ...

The current trend for multipurpose rooms requires enhanced acoustic treatments capable to meet ever more demanding specifications in terms of performance, compactness and versatility. The reason is the variety of activities to be hosted and the correspondi ...

We present a concept of "active material" with variable acoustic properties, being constituted of an electroacoustic transducer which acoustic impedance can be changed by an active mean. Among the different ways to obtain variable acoustic properties on an ...

Nowadays, customers have legitimate requirements as regards quality that marketing and consumers departments attempt to satisfy. The sound is well-known to enhance or detract from our pleasure in possessing or using a product. Sound quality engineering is ...

In multivariate systems, when it comes to identifying actual operating conditions ranges, or optimal settings, the use of constrained optimization is often required. Among the different tools for the engineer to perform such optimization, designed experime ...

This paper presents a local control approach to generate remote quiet zones. To deal with situations where global control can hardly be achieved, it is proposed to use an arrangement of spot-type sound reducers as originally suggested by Olson and May. Ass ...

Variable acoustic properties can be obtained at the diaphragm of an electroacoustic transducer, with the help of very basic control strategies, among which is the simple electrical shunting of the transducer. These shunt techniques are compared to active a ...

This paper deals with active sound attenuation in lined ducts with flow and its application to duct modes damping in aircraft engine nacelles. It presents an active lining concept based on an arrangement of electroacoustic absorbers flush mounted in the du ...

The paper focuses on the design of a built-in electroacoustic device for active noise reduction purposes. The device basically encompasses a loudspeaker connected to a synthetic electrical impedance that enhances its ability to dissipate part of the incomi ...

A technique to setup a simply supported rectangular plane panel for laboratory vibroacoustic tests is described and validated. For a given panel fixed to thin vertical supports, a dimensionless parameter is proposed to size these supports following a desir ...

The poor acoustic comfort of usual commercial products is often perceived as annoying. Today, more and more companies have realized that sound can be an important component of product attributes and image. They are interested in having acoustic guidelines ...
