Wind Farm Noise Uncertainty: Prediction, Measurement and Compliance Assessment
In most jurisdictions containing wind farms, base noise limits have been set by local regulatory authorities, with the intention of protecting the amenity of surrounding communities. It is a standard requireme...

Effectiveness of a passive-active vibration isolation system with actuator constraints
In the prediction of active vibration isolation performance, control force requirements were ignored in previous work. This may limit the realization of theoretically predicted isolation performance if control...

EGO shape optimization of horn-loaded loudspeakers
Horn-loaded loudspeakers increase the efficiency and control the spatial distribution of sound radiated from the horn mouth. They are often used as components in cinema sound systems where it is desired that ...

Actuator Design and Deployment
In structural acoustics and vibration, actuators are used to excite a structure for the purposes of modal analysis or active noise and vibration control. Here, the design of various actuators is discussed foll...

Effect of External Excitations on a Nonlinear System with Time Delay
The trivial equilibrium of a two-degree-of-freedom autonomous system may become unstable via a Hopf bifurcation of multiplicity two and give rise to oscillatory bifurcating solutions, due to presence of a time...
