To disseminate technology of various types of materials such as used for damping, vibration isolation, structural application, sound absorption, and sound barriers. This activity will be planned in collaboration with other interested Technical Committee such as Building Systems and Equipment. Also, the committee plans to develop technical publications dealing with various techniques for measuring or characterizing material properties. Organize sub-committees on generic or fundamental techniques which impact upon the science and practice of noise control engineering. Also, seek state of the art review and research papers for Noise Control Engineering Journal on topics covered by its sub- committee.
Special attention is placed on the cutting edge technology.
If a specific subcommittee makes rapid progress and requests a permanent status, it can be spun-off as a separate technical committee. Similarly, new sub-committees may be formed if there is sufficient interest in a new or evolving technology. The purpose of the INCE Active Control Methods is to foster research, applications, unified practice and communication of new techniques in active control of sound and vibration. The Technical Group meets at least once a year to provide a forum for its members in maintaining and developing the professional science of active control. Applications of the technology are in reduction of sound and vibration in industrial mechanical systems, aerospace structures, and marine vessels.
