Design of Shaped PVDF Radiation Mode Sensor and its Application in Active Structural Acoustic Control System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new strategy for the design of radiation mode sensors by using shaped PVDF films for one-dimension structures. Based on a modal approach, the shape of a PVDF sensor is analytically determined in such a way that the output signal of the sensor is directly proportional to amplitude of a particular radiation mode. Other modes are filtered out. A general expression of the PVDF sensor shape is obtained. It is found that the modal sensor shape can be expressed as a function of the second spatial derivative of the structural mode shape function. Finally, with an example of a vibrating beam, the proposed PVDF radiation mode sensor is used in an active structural acoustic control system for reduction of the structural-borne noise.
