LOEWE-Zentrum AdRIA: Latest results of an interdisciplinary research project on active vibration and noise control

摘要

The LOEWE-Zentrum AdRIA (Adaptronics - Research, Innovation, Application) is a large interdisciplinary research project located in Darmstadt, Germany, that is mainly funded by the government of the German federal state Hessen. The project partners are the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF, 21 research groups from six different departments of the Technische Universitat Darmstadt, and one department of the Hochschule Darmstadt. Three so-called application scenarios (namely, "adaptive car", "quiet office", and "adaptive tuned vibration absorber") implement and test new methods and technologies that are developed within the nine so-called technology areas (e.g., materials, simulation, sensors and actuators, control strategies, embedded systems, manufacturing). The main purpose of this research project is to increase the marketability of devices for active noise and vibration control by means of a balanced mixture of basic research, applied research, and industrial applications. This paper will give an overview of some recent results and some latest developments of this research project.
