Research abstract
This Phase II will develop a cost- and weight-effective means for achieving an improved low- and mid-frequency acoustic environment in payload fairings for rockets at lift-off. The solution to be developed will consist an active noise control system withan optimum selection of SmartFoam, distributed active vibration absorbers (DAVAs) and acoustic actuators.
