Ka. Cunefare, DESIGN OF ACTIVE STRUCTURAL ACOUSTIC CONTROL-SYSTEMS BY EIGENPROPERTYASSIGNMENT - COMMENTS, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 99(3), 1996, pp. 1785-1788
The recent article by Burdisso and Fuller [''Design of active structur
al acoustic control systems by eigenproperty assignment,'' J. Acoust.
Sec. Am. 96, 1582-1591 (1994)] does not fully illuminate the contribut
ions of a number of prior authors for a crucial part of the work, that
is, the development of weak radiator modes. This comment places the s
ubject development of Burdisso and Fuller in context with the prior ar
t. Further, it demonstrates the similarities of the subject developmen
t to prior work published by K. A. Cunefare [''The minimum multimodal
radiation efficiency of baffled finite beams,'' J. Acoust. Sec. Am. 90
, 2521-2529 (1991)]. The authors recognize and acknowledge that Burdis
so and Fuller's implementation of the concept, through eigenproperty a
ssignment, is unique and valuable. (C) 1996 Acoustical Society of Amer
