Book Development of a State space Observer for Active Noise Control Systems

Download or read book Development of a State space Observer for Active Noise Control Systems written by Mazin T. Muhssin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active noise control (ANC) is a method of reducing the unwanted sound. This is realized by artificially generating canceling (secondary) source(s) of sound through detecting the unwanted (primary) noise and processing it by an electronic controller, so that when the secondary wave is superimposed on the primary wave the two destructively interfere and cancellation occurs at the observation point. ANC system is an active research area for its high demand especially in the acoustic noise and vibration control systems. A lot of work in modeling an ANC system involves the transfer function approach, but unfortunately this method allows observation at a single point or mode. It is of interest to measure the level of cancellation not only at the observer but also around it. Therefore, a state space approach would allow observation at multi modes simultaneously and became the subject of this research. This thesis is concerned with the study and development of a state-space model (SSM) for ANC system in on dimensional free-field medium instead of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Models. In this work, the derivation of the SSM of each propagation path of ANC system is presented and hence the system is termed Feedforward state space control system with feedback inclusion single input single output (SISO) architecture. The criterions of success considered the evaluation process are the length of the propagation path, level of cancellation, convergence rate, number of modes of each path, and destructive interferences occur at the cancellation path. The secondary path of the ANC system is modeled by using the LMS algorithm to complete the design of the Filtered-X Least Mean Square (FXLMS) controller. Then the adaptive FXLMS controller is presented and incorporated with the proposed model for both Feedforward with / without the acoustic Feedback cases. As a result, the comparisons between the two cases are presented by mean of level of cancellation and convergence rate. The simulation results of the proposed model show that the level of the disturbance signal at ten modes along the primary path is decreasing as much as the modes go away from the source indicating that this model is suitable to build the mechanism of the ANC system which satisfies the relation between the wave dissipation against the number of modes which are distributed along the length of path. The derivation of the SSM gives the opportunity to extend the work furthermore to involve the derivation of a state-space optimal observer which is named State Space Least Mean Square (SSLMS) observer. This observer is employed to observe and monitor the pressure modes along the propagation path through simulating it in an off-line structure i.e. without controller, or to observe the modes at the cancellation path through simulating the SSLMS in an on-line structure i.e. while the controller is converging. The comparison results between the real and observed modes of the secondary propagation show an accurate observing. Finally, the comparisons of the observed pressures of three modes along the cancellation path while the controller is converging (on-line structure) are shown with the mode which is located at the observer achieving the best cancellation.

Book Theory and Design of Spatial Active Noise Control Systems

Download or read book Theory and Design of Spatial Active Noise Control Systems written by Hanchi Chen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of spatial active noise control is to use a number of loudspeakers to generate anti-noise sound waves, which would cancel the undesired acoustic noise over a spatial region. The acoustic noise hazards that exist in a variety of situations provide many potential applications for spatial ANC. However, using existing ANC techniques, it is difficult to achieve satisfying noise reduction for a spatial area, especially using a practical hardware setup. Therefore, this thesis explores various aspects of spatial ANC, and seeks to develop algorithms and techniques to promote the performance and feasibility of spatial ANC in real-life applications.We use the spherical harmonic analysis technique as the basis for our research in this work. This technique provides an accurate representation of the spatial noise field, and enables in-depth analysis of the characteristics of the noise field. Incorporating this technique into the design of spatial ANC systems, we developed a series of algorithms and methods that optimizes the spatial ANC systems, towards both improving noise reduction performance and reducing system complexity.Several contributions of this work are: (i) design of compact planar microphone array structures capable of recording 3D spatial sound fields, so that the noise field can be monitored with minimum physical intrusion to the quiet zone, (ii) derivation of a Direct-to-Reverberant Energy Ratio (DRR) estimation algorithm which can be used for evaluating reverberant characteristics of a noisy environment, (iii) propose a few methods to estimate and optimize spatial noise reduction of an ANC system, including a new metric for measuring spatial noise energy level, and (iv) design of an adaptive spatial ANC algorithm incorporating the spherical harmonic analysis technique. The combination of these contributions enables the design of compact, high performing spatial ANC systems for various applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential introduction to the principles and applications of feedback systems—now fully revised and expanded This textbook covers the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. Now more user-friendly than ever, this revised and expanded edition of Feedback Systems is a one-volume resource for students and researchers in mathematics and engineering. It has applications across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems. Karl Åström and Richard Murray use techniques from physics, computer science, and operations research to introduce control-oriented modeling. They begin with state space tools for analysis and design, including stability of solutions, Lyapunov functions, reachability, state feedback observability, and estimators. The matrix exponential plays a central role in the analysis of linear control systems, allowing a concise development of many of the key concepts for this class of models. Åström and Murray then develop and explain tools in the frequency domain, including transfer functions, Nyquist analysis, PID control, frequency domain design, and robustness.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by W. H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 22 (thesis year 1977) a total of 10,658 theses titles from 28 Canadian and 227 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 22 reports theses submitted in 1977, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
