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“智能面板”作为一个灵活的系统，用于低频声音和振动的主动控制。该系统随后将在一些越来越具有挑战性的工业应用中进行演示，包括教练，豪华游艇和开放式办公室的面板。这三项技术涉及一种新型传感器，该传感器将机械驱动与振动传感相结合，模制酚醛面板，其特性可以针对被动和主动噪声控制进行定制，以及先进的信号处理算法，该算法将使系统的性能能够适应特定的应用。

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.
