Due to the tunable characteristics of elastic waves, the vibroacoustic coupling behavior of a mechanical metastructure is a hot topic of underwater vehicles. In this work, a metastructure shell with active feedback control is presented and fabricated. The dynamic effective density and sound pressure level are derived to find the influences of acceleration and displacement feedback control. Different from a single cylinder, a double cylinder structure has both in-phase and anti-phase modes. Numerical results are obtained by Fourier transform and harmonic series expansion. With the introduction of an active feedback control system, the reduction of acoustic radiation shows low-frequency and broadband characteristics. In addition, finite element simulation is applied to support numerical results and present vibroacoustic characteristics. Finally, an experiment is performed in the anechoic chamber to illustrate the quiet metastructure shell, which can be applied to new designs of underwater vehicles.
