Effective management of noise and vibration is crucial across various sectors and situations, ranging from controlling noise transfer between residences to mitigating the noise produced by global shipping activities. Inadequate measures to control noise and vibration can result in adverse environmental, safety, and health outcomes. Nonetheless, traditional passive control methods, such as heavy physical barriers or absorptive materials, often face limitations due to their substantial weight and spatial requirements. Overcoming these limitations is becoming increasingly essential, especially with the growing emphasis on lightweight designs to minimise emissions.
To tackle this challenge, our focus will be on advancing smart acoustic control technologies for adoption in industrial and commercial settings. These intelligent systems integrate passive design principles with state-of-the-art sensing, actuation, and electronics, offering significant advantages in addressing complex acoustic control issues. Our overarching goal is to improve the practical implementation of smart acoustic control technologies in real-world engineering contexts, driven by the industrial challenges faced by BAE Systems.
