A computer simulation is performed on the effectiveness of the active minimization of harmonically excited enclosed sound fields for producing global reduction in the amplitude of the pressure fluctuations. In this study for the appreciable reductions in total time averaged acoustic potential energy, $E_{pp}$, the transducer location strategies for three dimensional active noise control is presented based on a state space modal which approximates the closed acoustic field.In this study, the above theoretical basis is used to investigate the application of active control to sound fields of low modal density. By the used of room-like 3-dimensional rectangular enclosure it is demonstrated that the reductions in $E_{pp}$ can be achieved by using a single secondary source, provided that the source is placed within the half a wavelength from the primary source and placed away from nodal line of the sound field. Concerning the reductions in $E_{pp}$ by minimzing the pressure in sound fields by the use of 3-dimensional rectangular enclosure, the effects of the number of sensors and the locations of these sensors are investigated. When a few modes dominate the response it is found that if only a limited number of sensors are located away from nodal line and located at the pressure maxima of the sound field such as at each corner of a rectangular enclosure.

This paper surveys the recent research activities regarding dynamical modeling of thermo-acoustic instabilities which are fundamental to actively control such phenomena in gas-turbine engines, rockets, and etc. For this, we introduce reduced-order modeling approaches, mainly conducted after 1990s. Particularly, we survey grey-box approaches, which determine the structure of the model based on physical rules and use system's input-output data for estimating parameters of the model. We also introduce black-box approaches using model structures without physics-based interpretation. Finally, we briefly discuss future directions and feasibilities of the research in this field.

This paper surveys the recent research activities regarding dynamical modeling of high amplitude - high frequency thermo-acoustic instabilities occurring in gas-turbine engines, rockets, and etc, which are fundamental to actively control of such phenomena. For this, we introduces the reduced-order system modeling approaches, conducted after 1990s. Particularly, we deal with the grey-box approach, which determines the structure of the model based on physical rules and uses system's input-output data for estimating parameters of the model, and the black-box approach, which uses model structure without physics-based interpretation. At the end of the paper, we briefly discuss future directions and feasibilities of the research in this field.

An active method that improves low frequency characteristics of a reverberation chamber has been proposed. Spatial uniformity of sound pressure at low frequency has been increased by applying active noise control system. The system acts as frequency selective damping materials, which decreases resonance at low frequency and leave high frequency sound field as it is. Linearity of the chamber, which is essential for sound power measurement in the chamber, is guaranteed since fixed control logic has been adopted. Simple application and tests have been done in a small sized rectangular reverberation chamber which has 400Hz cutoff, Loud speakers were used to simulate a noise source and to construct an active noise control system. The spatial distribution of a sound field at 250Hz, 315Hz and 400Hz bands has been measured before and after control. The standard deviation of sound field has been decreased from 3.4dB to 2.5dB. The results show the possibility of active control system as a sound diffuser.

Spatial control of sound is essential to deliver better sound to the listener's position in space. As it can be experienced in many listening environments. the quality of sound can not be manifested over every Position in a hall. This motivates us to control sound in a region we select. The primary focus of the developed method has to do with the brightness and contrast of acoustic image in space. In particular, the acoustic brightness control seeks a way to increase loudness of sound over a chosen area, and the contrast control aims to enhance loudness difference between two neighboring regions. This enables us to make two different kinds of zone - the zone of quiet and the zone of loud sound - at the same time. The other perspective of this study is on the direction of sound. It is shown that we can control the direction of perceived sound source by focusing acoustic energy in wavenumber domain. To begin with, the proposed approaches are formulated for pure-tone case. Then the control methods are extended to a more general case, where the excitation signal has broadband spectrum. In order to control the broadband signal in time domain, an inverse filter design problem is defined and solved in frequency domain. Numerical and experimental results obtained in various conditions certainly validate that the acoustic brightness, acoustic contrast, direction of wave front can be manipulated for some finite region in space and time.

Combustion Instabilities are caused by a coupling between acoustic waves and unsteady heat release. They can be eliminated using passive controller such as a Helmholtz resonator. But, Helmholtz resonator is normally only effective over a narrow frequency range. In this work, Helmholtz resonator is applied for reducing the combustion oscillations and we vary the Helmholtz resonator volume using piston in oder to tune in the wide range of operating conditions. As the result, it is found that the dominant combustion oscillations can be largely reduced by optimizing the size of resonator volume. And, interesting relation for phase difference of dynamic pressure both combustor and the helmholtz resonator are presented in this paper. Also, we investigate semi-active control using Helmholtz equation and phase difference.

In this study, we have developed a 3-dimensional diagnostic ultrasonic sector probe using a convex type ultrasonic probe with 128 active elements. The probe was made to operate at the center frequency of 4.5㎒ with the bandwidth of 66%. The driving part was designed to rotate the axis of the convex probe by means of a step motor equipped with reduction gears and spur gears attached to the motor so that the probe could enable us to acquire a series of 2-dimensional images to construct a 3-dimensional image. Acoustic cover of the probe was made of polymers to have the same radius of rotation as that of the convex probe. The controllability of the rotation angle and the structural stability of the probe were confirmed through experimental 3-dimensional images obtained using the developed 3-dimensional sector probe.

In this paper, active noise control (ANC) of a Volterra system with a nonlinear secondary path is proposed in the presence of a linear acoustic feedback, whereby the conventional ANC of a linear system with online acoustic feedback-path modeling is further extended to ANC of a Volterra system with a linear acoustic feedback path. In particular, the proposed ANC system consists of two adaptive Volterra filters (for nonlinear noise control and nonlinear adaptive noise cancellation) and one feedback-path modeling filter. Simulation results show that the proposed approach yields more effective reduction of disturbances arising from the acoustic feedback, in addition to high nonlinear ANC performance.
