Preface

Noise and vibration are two interrelated terms in the field of engineering. Vibration is caused by unbalanced inertial forces and moments, whereas noise is the result of such vibrations. Such phenomena have always been a matter of concern for both researchers and practicing engineers. The lower level of vibration can ensure less tear and wear, less tolerance, and longer fatigue life of the machine or structure. This book presents the established fundamentals in the area of passive, semi-active, and active vibration control, and explores the new and emerging technologies and techniques. There has been a considerable amount of effort devoted to the development and realization of methodologies for the control of sound and vibration, and this book covers the latest theoretical, algorithmic, and practical applications,

*Chapter 1:* A hysteresis nonlinear model is established for a giant magnetostrictive

*Chapter 3:* Effective low-frequency noise insulation active damping approaches are

*Chapter 4:* The dynamic behavior of aero-elastic vibrations in the presence of nonlinear stiffness such as free-play mechanisms and softening or hardening stiffness is

*Chapter 5:* Background information on the assistance of ultrasonic vibration in the

*Chapter 6:* The generation mechanism of the self-sustained tone is clarified experimentally and numerically, and the methods for suppressing a self-sustained tone

*Chapter 7:* The relationship between energy of vibration and noise signals measured in the magnetic resonance imaging scanning area and its vicinity are mapped to

*Chapter 8:* Empirical results quantifying various signals from heartbeat to material

It is my hope that this book, which integrates the modeling and design aspects of various noise and vibration control techniques, will serve as a comprehensive guide
