Vibroacoustics of Multiple-plate Glazed Structures

This book offers a comprehensive treatment of structural acoustics, bridging fundamental principles of vibroacoustic coupling with advanced applications in noise and vibration control. It explores the design and implementation of piezoelectric acoustic sensors and actuators for glazing systems, demonstrating active control strategies for acoustic pressure fields and structural components including beams, plates, and multilayer glazing. The book presents detailed analytical and experimental investigations of sound transmission through triple-glazed structures, providing robust vibroacoustic models and unique experimental datasets covering a range of glass dimensions, thicknesses, and air-gap configurations. Experimental modal analysis using scanning laser vibrometry is employed to validate the proposed models, while the concluding chapters focus on innovative techniques for actively tuning and enhancing the acoustic performance of triple-glazed systems. Combining theoretical foundations, modeling approaches, and experimental validation, this volume serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners working in acoustics, vibration, and building technologies.
