ABSTRACT
Active structural vibration control of a rectangular plate representing a flexible wall of a thick Plexiglas container is investigated, for both empty and water-filled tank. A finite-elements model of the plate, which includes additional masses and stiffness of actuators and sensors, is presented. The computational results are compared with experimental modal analyses. A filtered-x LMS adaptive feedforward algorithm is experimentally applied with a SISO approach on the perturbed system, obtaining satisfactory results on the control of the first three modes.
