Abstract:
A system includes a panel extending in a plane, an actuator attached to a surface of the panel, and an electronic control module to activate the actuator to cause vibration of the panel. The actuator includes: a plate to create a force to cause vibration of the panel to generate sound waves, having a width, W T , at a first edge; a stub extending from the first edge of the plate, having a width at a region of connection to the plate that is less than W T , the stub being attached to the surface of the panel to transfer the force received from the plate to the panel and cause the panel to vibrate; and a damper supported by a surface of the plate facing the panel coupling the plate to the panel, the damper having a having a width greater than W S .

Claim (Index 20):
A distributed mode actuator, comprising:\n a plate adapted to create a force to cause vibration of a load to generate sound waves, the plate having a width, W T , along a first direction at a first edge of the plate and a length, L T , along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the plate extending along the second direction from a first end to a second end; a stub extending from the first edge of the plate, the stub having a width, W S , in the first direction at a region of connection to the plate at the first end of the plate that is less than W T , the stub being attachable to the load to transfer the force received from the plate through to the load and cause the load to vibrate; and a damper supported by a surface of the plate facing the load when the stub is attached to the load, the damper coupling the plate to the load, the damper having a having a width, W D , extending in the first direction by an amount greater than W S , the damper being formed from a material having viscoelastic properties to damp vibrations of the load.
