© 2020 Elsevier Ltd A new method is proposed for precise shaping of the acoustic radiation of a vibrating plate. The potential applications of this method are: to optimize acoustic radiation of a plate employed as a sound source; and to enhance transmission loss of a plate used as a noise barrier, both in passive or active control solutions. The proposed method is based on mounting several additional ribs and masses (passive elements) to the plate surface at locations determined by an optimization process. This optimization involves a model of the vibroacoustic system, a cost function representing the objective under consideration, and an optimization algorithm. The method is described, and results of both numerical simulation and experimental validation are presented. Analysis of results shows that the transmission loss introduced by a passive noise barrier can be enhanced by more than 7 dB in frequency bands of interest. Furthermore, these enhancements can be combined with optimized arrangements of actuators and sensors, resulting in a hybrid passive-active noise control system.
