Active Vibration & Noise Control: Design Towards Performance Limit: A New Paradigm to Active Control

The book aims to develop systematic design methodologies for active control and energy harvesting, with a "visualization technique" to determine the performance limit. It addresses fundamental issues such as feasibility, optimality, performance limit, compromisability, synthesis, and constraint influence, complementing optimization-based routines. The proposed book will result in a new design methodology—performance limit-oriented active control—and disseminate fundamental results verified through numerical demonstrations.

The book titled "Active Control for Performance Limit: A Visualization Technique for Systematic Design Methodologies" is a comprehensive exploration of the performance limit of active control and energy harvesting. It aims to develop systematic design methodologies with a "visualization technique" that allows for readily determining the performance limit through visual inspections. The book is motivated by the pivotal issue of understanding the limitations of active control and energy harvesting in modern technological systems. These systems are characterized by high speed, heavy load, lightweight, flexible operation, and extreme conditions, which have led to significant vibration and noise issues. The book addresses fundamental issues such as the existence of feasible controllers, optimality of controllers, performance limit of controllers, compromisability among performance specifications, synthesis of controllers, and influence of constraints on optimal solutions. The proposed book will result in a new design methodology called "performance limit-oriented active control" (ACPL). The author initiated the project "Active Control for Performance Limit" (ACPL) and has obtained a series of fundamental results that will be disseminated in the book. The results are verified through extensive numerical demonstrations and are expected to provide useful guidance for practical engineering in the vibration and noise industry and research. The book is organized into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of active control and energy harvesting. The first chapter provides an overview of the book's objectives and motivation. The second chapter discusses the geometric representation of performance specifications and its role in resolving fundamental issues. The third chapter explores the existence of feasible controllers and the optimality of controllers. The fourth chapter investigates the performance limit of controllers and the compromisability among performance specifications. The fifth chapter discusses the synthesis of controllers and the influence of constraints on optimal solutions. The sixth chapter presents case studies and applications of the proposed design methodology. The final chapter concludes the book and provides future directions for research in active control and energy harvesting. Overall, the book aims to provide a comprehensive and practical guide for designing active control and energy harvesting systems that meet performance requirements while minimizing vibration and noise issues. It is expected to be of interest to researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and acoustics.
