Active control of low frequency sound radiation using planar secondary sources is theoretically investigated in this paper. The primary sound field originates from a vibrating panel and the planar sources are modeled as simply supported rectangular panels in an infinite baffle. The sound power of the primary and secondary panels are calculated using a near field approach, and then a series of formulas are derived to obtain the optimum reduction in sound power based on minimization of the total radiate sound power. Finally, active reduction for a number of secondary panel arrangements is examined and it is concluded that when the modal distribution of the secondary panel does not coincide with that of the primary panel, one secondary panel is sufficient. Otherwise four secondary panels can guarantee considerable reduction in sound power over entire frequency range of interest.

A novel and simple near-field electrospinning (NFES) method has been developed to fabricate wavy or helical nanofibrous arrays. By alternating the electrostatic signals applied on auxiliary-electrodes (AE), the structural parameters of deposited patterns can be actively controlled. Compared with the traditional electrospinning methods based on the bending and buckling effects or collector movement, the proposed method shows advantages in the controllability, accuracy, and minimal feature size. Forces operating on the electrospinning jet and the time-varying electric field distribution were analyzed to explain the kinematics of the jet. Nanoscale wavy and helical patterns with various structural parameters were fabricated. The effects of experimental process parameters on structural parameters of deposited patterns were analyzed to demonstrate the controllability of our method in fabricating wavy or helical nanofibrous structures. It is envisioned that this method will benefit the applications in the field of photovoltaic devices, sensors, transducers, resonators, and stretchable electronics.
