A Study of Smart Foam for Noise Control Applications

Smart foam is a composite noise control treatment that consists of a distributed piezoelectric actuator, known as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), embedded within a layer of partially-reticulated polyurethane foam. The principal function of smart foam is to yield broadband sound attenuation. Passive...
