The work is aimed to investigate the method to create a zone of quiet (vibration) on a structure by modifying its vibration power flow. Since the vibration behaviour can be related to how the vibration power flows, it is possible to control the vibration profile by forcing the power to flow to a certain direction over the structure. Therefore, it should also be possible to vary the location for the zone of quiet by re-directing the power flow Numerical simulations on a panel structure are performed to investigate the effect of re-directing the power flow to change the structural vibration behaviour, where it is found that it is possible to achieve a zone of quiet by power flow modification.
