This volume explores the cutting edge of active control techniques for noise and vibration. It compiles research presented at the 1991 American Society of Mechanical Engineers Winter Meeting, focusing on theoretical advancements and practical applications in mitigating unwanted acoustic and mechanical disturbances. The papers cover a range of methodologies, from adaptive filtering and feedback control to structural modifications and smart material applications.

This collection of papers from the 1991 ASME Winter Meeting offers a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in active noise and vibration control. The technical depth suggests a readership of engineers and researchers in mechanical and aerospace fields. The focus on both theoretical frameworks and experimental results indicates a practical orientation, aiming to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application. The compilation likely serves as a valuable reference for those working on advanced solutions for acoustic and mechanical disturbance mitigation.
