  • Summary: 

    This paper studies the optimal design of piezoelectric actuators for suppressing
    noise transmission of a vibration plate. The optimal placement of the actuators to reduce the
    global noise levels is still a significant design problem, especially placement limited to
    discrete locations. With the increase of the alternative locations and number of actuators, a
    large number of placement possibilities exist. These multi-dimensional nonlinear problems
    are very difficult for traditional optimization methods. In this paper, genetic algorithms have
    introduced to solve the problem of optimal discrete placement of piezoelectric patches. In
    order to improve the diversity of the population, a new selection factor is presented that is
    based on immune diversity, which is dependent on the string denseness and its function value.
    The survivor probability of the string with higher denseness will be reduced. Several cases
    for a simple supported plate under different load conditions show that the improved
    algorithms are efficient.
