Structural & Internal Acoustic Response of Cylinders with Applications to Rocket Payload Fairings

Future launch vehicle payload fairings will be manufactured from advanced lightweight composite materials. The loss of distributed mass causes a significant increase in the internal acoustic environment, causing a severe threat to the payload. Using piezoelectric actuators to control the fairing vib...
