Funded Activity Summary

Active vibration control of a fluid loaded cylinder using inertial and reactive actuators. The active control technology outlined in this proposal presents a practical solution for low frequency noise problems associated with a submarine. The successful outcomes will be directly applicable to the Collins Class submarine, and thereby will greatly benefit Australia's naval defence industry. The active control transducer technology developed in this project will be patented, and has the potential to result in great commercial value for Australia. This project will contribute significantly to Australian research capacity in cutting-edge technologies in active vibration control. The collaboration between UNSW and the Maritime Platforms Division of DSTO will promote technology transfer and enhance Defence research expertise.
