Abstract

Actuators for active vibrational energy control systems which are frequency focused. The high-frequency cancellation function is decoupled from the low-frequency cancellation function to enable the size, force, number and placement of the actuators to be optimized. A hybrid system employing structural actuators to cancel low-frequency vibrations and speakers to cancel higher-frequency vibrations is also taught.
