Paper Abstract

Piezoelectric membranes connected to negative capacitance circuits (NCC) are studied as a possible solution to damping acoustic loads. Two experiments are performed to test this theory. In the first experiment, a piezoelectric patch is stretched across an acoustic tube's cross section and connected to a NCC tuned to minimize the transmitted sound. Variable position microphones are used to measure sound pressure levels. The second experiment models a launch vehicle. Piezoelectric patches are used to enclose the inner payload chamber and isolate it from acoustic noise. Microphones are positioned both inside and outside the chamber to measure the noise reduction.
