  THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK IS TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE AN APPROACH FOR ACTIVE VIBRATION REDUCTION ON A ROTORCRAFT STRUCTURE THAT WILL ULTIMATELY REDUCE NOISE IN THE PASSENGER CABIN OF THE ROTORCRAFT. THE ACTIVE CONTROL APPROACH TO BE DEVELOPED AND DEMONSTRATED IN THIS WORK IS BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF ACTUATION POWER MINIMIZATION. THIS IS A DECENTRALIZED CONTROL CONCEPT, MEANING ALL SENSING, CONTROL INPUT CALCULATION, AND ACTUATION IS DONE LOCAL TO A SPECIFIC ACTUATOR ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE. THIS LOCAL CONTROL APPROACH REDUCES THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE WIRING TO CONNECT DISTRIBUTED ACTUATORS AND SENSORS AND ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A CENTRALIZED CONTROL PROCESSING UNIT THAT COORDINATES THE EFFORTS OF MANY ACTUATORS. ALTHOUGH THE SIMPLICITY OF A DECENTRALIZED CONTROL APPROACH IS DESIRABLE, THE APPROACH IS NOT WITHOUT CHALLENGES. THESE INCLUDE ENSURING THAT LOCALLY OPTIMIZED CONTROL INPUTS PRODUCE A NET REDUCTION IN A RELEVANT GLOBAL PERFORMANCE METRIC, SUCH AS SOUND POWER IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. A SECOND CHALLENGE IS TO KEEP THE ACTUATOR FORCE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN REALIZABLE LIMITS AT THE FREQUENCIES OF INTEREST. IN THIS WORK, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE VIBRATION REDUCTION ON A ROTORCRAFT STRUCTURE AT FREQUENCIES WHERE GEAR-MESH TONES AND HARMONICS OCCUR AT 500 2000 HZ DUE TO STRUCTURE-BORNE EXCITATION FROM THE MAIN GEARBOX. SPECIFIC FREQUENCIES OF INTEREST SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE CONTRACTOR BASED ON KNOWLEDGE OF THE FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION OF GEAR MESH TONES IN PRODUCTION ROTORCRAFT. THE THREE-YEAR PROGRAM SHALL ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIC OVERALL OBJECTIVES: 1. ESTABLISH A FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERTISE OF THE MINIMAL POWER CONTROL METHODOLOGY AND DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY ON A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT TEST IN YEAR 1. 2. DEVELOP MODELING CAPABILITY AND A REAL TIME CONTROL ALGORITHM AND DEMONSTRATE THE TECHNOLOGY S EFFECTIVENESS AND EASE OF IMPLEMENTATION ON A ROTORCRAFT INTERIOR PANEL STRUCTURE IN YEAR 2. 3. DEMONSTRATE A TECHNICAL PATH TOWARD APPLYING THE METHODOLOGY TO THE GEAR MESHING NOISE OF ROTORCRAFT MAIN ROTOR GEAR BOX AND ANALYTICALLY PROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS IN YEAR 3.
