Wave absorption of an orthotropic rectangular panel based on direct feedback

摘要

This paper presents a new methodology of realizing an active wave control for an orthotropic rectangular panel. In general, an ideal wave controller is expressed by non-causal function which is impossible to be realized practically. The static direct feedback is introduced to overcome this problem. Firstly, a transfer matrix method for an orthotropic rectangular panel is introduced to describe the wave dynamics of the structure. This is followed by the derivation of feedback control laws for absorbing reflected waves. Then, static direct feedback is presented to realize the perfect wave absorption at single frequency. Finally, from a viewpoint of numerical analyses, control effects of the proposed method are verified by evaluating the absolute displacement distribution. It is found that the reflected wave absorbing control enables the inactivation of all vibration modes in the controlled direction.
