Vehicle interior noise active control based on piezoelectric ceramic materials and improved fuzzy control algorithm

摘要

An active control approach for interior noise of vehicle based on the piezoelectric ceramic materials and fuzzy control algorithm is presented in this paper. According to the electromechanical coupling characteristics and the positive/inverse mechanism of a piezoelectric material, a theoretical model of piezoelectric ceramic plate with a sandwich structure is deduced by using impedance analysis method. The size of a piezoelectric ceramic transducer (or actuator) and its sticking position on the plate frame are determined. The structural modes and dynamic responses of a vehicle cavity model are calculated by finite element analysis for selecting optimal positions of actuator on the front wall. Furthermore, a fuzzy controller is designed for active vibration control. The fuzzy algorithm is improved by adjusting quantization factors, such as the deviation and its changing rate. Following the derived piezoelectric equations and the improved fuzzy algorithm, an active structural acoustic control (ASAC) system is developed and a functional prototype is set up by using the dSPACE platform. Experimental results show that the developed ASAC system can significantly reduce not only the vibrations of the front wall, but also the interior noises of the cavity. This implies that the proposed vibration-based ASAC method is effective and feasible, which might be a potential approach for interior noise control of vehicles. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.
