Since the reduction of disturbing noise is highly important in industrial and civil engineering, much research and development has been done in this field over the past decades. The application of smart structures provides a way to reduce unwanted noise radiation. A smart structure is an integrated system consisting of the passive base structure attached with actuators and sensors. Piezoelectric ceramics are widely used as sensors and actuators, because they can easily be bonded on or imbedded into conventional structures. An often used concept for noise reduction is active structural acoustic control (ASAC). This concept means that the noise radiation will be reduced by minimizing or changing the vibrational behavior of a structure using additional actuator forces. The development and industrial use of smart structures for ASAC requires efficient and reliable simulation and design tools. Usually the design process of smart structures is based on numerical methods. In order to verify numerical techniques, the paper presents an analytical reference solution for an ASAC system.
