Linda Hall Library: This site offers researchers an efficient, web or email based way of requesting journal articles in science and technology. Very useful for companies without an extensive in-house technical library.

 

Currently Available Books on Active Noise Control

Active Noise Control Systems : Algorithms and Dsp Implementations (Wiley Series in Telecommunications and Signal Processing)  
Sen M. Kuo, Dennis R. Morgan (Contributor) / Paperback / Published 1996
This excellent text is written for advanced study and practicing engineers who need to design controllers for active noise control systems. The emphasis is on the algorithms that are usually implemented in a Digital Signal Processor. The book's treatment of acoustics, sensors, and actuators is not as in-depth as texts by Fuller or Nelson. Included in the book is C and assembly code for the most popular adaptive control techniques, but beware of bugs and patent issues. One of the algorithms covered in detail is the Filtered-X Least Mean Squares technique that one of the Authors (Morgan) help to make popular in the community.

Active Control of Sound
P. A. Nelson / Paperback / Published 1993
This text offers a good description of the important physical principles underlying active noise control applied to acoustics. Excellent discussion on the theoretical limits to controlling sound radiation using smart skins.
 
Active Control of Vibration
C. R. Fuller (Editor), et al / Hardcover / Published 1996
Extensive discussion on active structural acoustic control, the use of generating vibrations on a radiating surface in order to minimize the overall acoustic sound radiation. Contains many details on implementing active vibration control on beams and cylinders.

Robert L. Clark, et al / Hardcover / Published 1997

Discusses numerous approaches to making structures that are more responsive to the environment. Good discussion on active power flow control applied to beams. Discusses experiments in using analog adaptive controllers for active control, although these experiments were limited by the choice of electronics selected for implementation.
