Technologies for Re-Active Noise-cancelling Quiet panels (TRANQuil)

该项目的目的是集成三种新技术，以实现作为一种灵活的系统的“智能面板”，以主动控制低频声音和振动。然后，该系统将在一些日益具有挑战性的工业应用中进行演示，包括客车上的面板、豪华游艇和开放式办公室。这三项技术涉及一种将机械驱动与振动传感相结合的新型换能器，一种模压酚醛面板，其特性可为被动和主动噪声控制量身定做，以及先进的信号处理算法，使系统的性能能够适应特定应用。

The aim of this project is to integrate three novel technologies in order to implement a "Smart Panel" as a flexible system for the active control of low frequency sound and vibration. This system would then be demonstrated on a number of increasingly challenging industrial applications, including panels on coaches, in luxury yachts and in open plan offices. The three technologies involve a novel transducer that combines mechanical actuation with vibration sensing, a moulded phenolic panel, whose characteristics can be tailored for passive as well as active noise control and an advanced signal processing algorithm that will allow the performance of the system to adapt to the particular application.
