Acoustic metamaterial based on multi-split hollow spheres

We firstly present a kind of acoustic metamaterial (AM) with resonant microstructure of double split hollow sphere (DSHS). Simulation and experimental results show that the DSHS AM has a transmission dip and accompanied phase advance near the resonant frequency. Effective properties extracted by homogenized-media theory show that the negative modulus of the DSHS AM occurs near the dip frequency. With the increase of the diameter of the double holes in the DSHS, the resonant intensity will be stronger which leads to a greater negative modulus. By adjusting the double holes of DSHS structure with different diameter or angle, the negative-modulus band of the AMs with the modified unit cells will become tunable. Furthermore, we extend the DSHS AMs to the AMs with multi-split hollow sphere (MSHS), which still possess the property of negative modulus. This concept may pave a theoretical way to study the micro-sized and nano-sized MSHS AMs fabricated by chemical manufacturing techniques, which have potential application in the future.     

Tunable acoustic metamaterial with negative modulus

A tunable negative modulus metamaterial is presented, and it is achieved by adjusting the medium density and an effective volume of a split hollow sphere (SHS). This work comprises experimental and numerical studies. The effects of water/air component and the steel ball on the transmission properties were investigated in the impedance tube system. The experimental results show that the transmission dip has a significant blue-shift with increasing water content, whereas the steel ball has a relatively small influence on the resonant frequency. The simulated results by the finite-element method (FEM) are in agreement with the experimental results. Based on medium parameters among the SHS, acoustic metamaterial (AM) with negative modulus can easily be designed in the expected frequency domain, and it provides a convenient route to tune AMs.     

Double-negative dynamic properties in one-dimensional multi-phase metamaterial based on the symmetrical equivalent layer

Acoustic metamaterials have important potential applications in engineering by their unusual properties. Based on the concept of symmetrical equivalent layer, it is found that layered acoustic metamaterial which exhibits simultaneously negative effective modulus and density can be existed. By using the transfer matrix method, the continuous double-negative dynamic properties can be achieved through a multi-phase microstructure considering viscous damping, and the left-handed wave propagation property appears during the double-negative frequency regions. This will be a reference for the design of 1D acoustic negative refraction metamaterials.     

Temperature-controlled tunable acoustic metamaterial with active band gap and negative bulk modulus

The local resonant band gap and the negative bulk modulus of the acoustic metamaterial with Helmholtz resonators are strongly affected by the temperature of water. In this paper, the acoustic transmission line method (ATLM) is introduced to investigate the influences of the temperature of water on the local resonant band gap and the negative bulk modulus of the acoustic metamaterial. Results show that the relative variations of the local resonant band gap and the negative effective bulk modulus suffering from the change of the temperature of water are approximately equivalent and are up to about 11%. The reason is that the local resonant frequency is proportional to the sound speed of fluid which is strongly effects by the temperature of water. By achieving the unambiguous relationships between these unusual properties of the acoustic metamaterial and the temperature of water, we find that the temperature-controlled acoustic metamaterial with the active band gap and the active negative bulk modulus can be realized in theory. This idea opens a new avenue for the design of the tunable acoustic metamaterial that can modulate the acoustic wave propagation.     

Study of scattering patterns and subwavelength scale imaging based on finite-sized metamaterials

A metamaterial slab, used as a superlens in a subwavelength imaging system, is frequently assumed homogeneous. It is the bulk properties of the metamaterial which are responsible for the resolution of the transferred information in the image domain, as a result of high transverse wave-vector coupling. However, how in a discretized metamaterial, individual meta-atoms (i.e., the meta-elements composing a negative index metamaterial slab) contribute to the imaging process is still actively studied. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the consequences of using only a few meta-atoms as a negative index slab-equivalent for subwavelength scale imaging. We make a specific choice for a meta-atom and investigate its resonant scattering patterns. We report on how knowledge of these 3D scattering patterns provides a means to understand the transfer of high spatial frequencies and assist with the design an improved negative index slab.

Propagation of acoustic waves in a fluid-filled pipe with periodic elastic Helmholtz resonators

Helmholtz resonators are widely used to reduce noise in a fluid-filled pipe system. It is a challenge to obtain lowfrequency and broadband attenuation with a small sized cavity. In this paper, the propagation of acoustic waves in a fluid-filled pipe system with periodic elastic Helmholtz resonators is studied theoretically. The resonance frequency and sound transmission loss of one unit are analyzed to validate the correctness of simplified acoustic impedance. The band structure of infinite periodic cells and sound transmission loss of finite periodic cells are calculated by the transfer matrix method and finite element software. The effects of several parameters on band gap and sound transmission loss are probed.Further, the negative bulk modulus of periodic cells with elastic Helmholtz resonators is analyzed. Numerical results show that the acoustic propagation properties in the periodic pipe, such as low frequency, broadband sound transmission, can be improved.     

Acoustic Absorption Characteristics of New Underwater Omnidirectional Absorber

We investigate a new underwater omnidirectional absorber with acoustic black hole effect to realize a broadband omnidirectional acoustic wave absorption. Based on multiple scattering theory, a two-dimensional axisymmetric model of underwater omnidirectional absorber comprised of an acoustic gradient refractive index structure and a hollow core is developed, and the mechanisms of omnidirectional absorption and dissipation of acoustic waves are studied. The numerical results indicate that the omnidirectional absorber developed here can achieve the omnidirectional absorption of incident acoustic waves in a broadband frequency and can effectively reduce the backscattering of acoustic waves. It potentially provides a new notion for underwater acoustic coating design.
