微穿孔板吸声器的吸声频带相较于亥姆霍兹谐振器更宽,但其低频吸声的实现需要较大的空气背腔,这对结构尺寸有限制的场合存在一定局限性。本文设计了一种轻薄吸声降噪结构(内置亥姆霍兹谐振器的微穿孔板吸声器,简称MPPHR),将微穿孔板吸声器与亥姆霍兹谐振器进行了结合,提升吸声器的低频吸声性能的同时兼具了微穿孔板宽带吸声的优点。首先基于微穿孔板和亥姆霍兹谐振器理论建立了等效电路模型并计算了结构的声阻抗。然后通过有限元对MPPHR的吸声特性进行了参数研究。最后验证了MPPHR的声阻抗模型和有限元仿真的准确性。研究结果表明：MPPHR结构拥有更宽吸声频带,厚度仅为30mm的MPPHR的半吸收频带可达1294Hz,相较于同等厚度下的微穿孔板吸声器宽近500Hz。此外,MPPHR拥有更好的低频吸声效率。

微穿孔板的实际极限

对微穿孔板吸声器的构造和吸声特性进行了分析。曾认为低穿孔常数和孔径小可导致宽频带内的高吸声特性。为求得极限,从穿孔系数为1,孔径0．1 mm开始,因为负载声阻和吸声系数可接近1,高吸声系数的共振频率可达1000 Hz,高频率可在吸声范围之内。单片微穿孔板可否用于平常噪声控制,在宽频带内吸声较大?为了比较,半吸声带宽不适用,因为可能包括低吸声系数。建议用吸声系数0．5作为实际吸声底线,为比较微穿孔板的统一标准。更以吸声系数的频率曲线以进行详细比较。负载声阻为1(声阻等于空气特性阻抗)时,微穿孔板的吸声范围约为2．5倍频程,比常用的微穿孔板稍好。负载声阻大于1时,吸声的频率范围显著增加,有些适合宽频带高吸收的要求。将其实现可能是微穿孔板吸声器的重大发展。     

微穿孔板复合板型声学超材料的低频吸声

针对单层微穿孔板的低频吸声问题提出了微穿孔板复合板型声学超材料结构。将板型声学超材料置入微穿孔板结构的背腔内部实现结构复合。实验结果表明:在相同背腔厚度下,复合结构的吸声性能整体优于单层微穿孔板结构,其中复合结构的吸声曲线从396~892 Hz均大于0.6,在453 Hz处吸声系数达到0.972。利用有限元方法对复合结构进行了仿真,仿真计算的吸声曲线与实验吸声曲线的趋势基本相同,同时发现低频吸声主要由板型声学超材料与声波相互作用贡献。板型声学超材料的吸声峰值的对应频率处,其等效动态质量密度从正变负。在复合结构内部的微穿孔板和板型声学超材料存在相互耦合作用,使得复合结构的第一峰值发生微小偏移。增加板型声学超材料的质量块重量可以使第一吸声峰值向低频移动;保持总背腔厚度不变,增加板型声学超材料的子腔厚度,也可以使第一吸声峰向低频移动。

The impact of the neck material on the sound absorption performance of Helmholtz resonators

Helmholtz resonators with sound absorption materials filling the neck may have an improved sound absorption capacity. In this work, parallel perforated ceramics with different perforation diameters were installed into the neck of a Helmholtz resonator to improve its acoustic impedance to simultaneously achieve a better acoustic absorption coefficient and a wider absorption bandwidth. An experimental system was built to investigate the effect of the perforation diameters on the sound absorption performance of the resonator. It is found that nonlinear effects near the resonance frequency affect the resonator?s neck mouth impedance and further its sound absorption performance significantly. For frequency range 50–500 Hz, a model of the neck mouth impedance is developed based on a revised Forchheimer relationship. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical model.     

Acoustic properties of micro-perforated panel absorber having arbitrary cross-sectional perforations

Micro-perforated panel absorber is used in many noise control applications as a next-generation absorbing material. Perforation shapes of micro-perforated panel studied are usually circular in the past. However, in practice, the perforations are often non-circular or irregular shape due to manufacturing techniques. Sound absorption coefficient and absorption bandwidth of the micro-perforated panel absorber may be further improved, when the perforations in shape are changed. In view of the existing exact solutions of sound propagation in tubes, the simple formulas of specific acoustic impedances of the tubes for triangle and square cross-sectional perforations are derived. Mass reactance end correction of the micro-perforated panel is obtained based on the sound radiation of a shaped piston. The specific acoustic impedance ratio of the micro-perforated panel absorber is calculated and analyzed, which can predict its sound absorption bandwidth. Finally, for closed perforations, the influences of the perforations in shape (including triangle, circle, square and irregular circle) on sound absorption of the MPP absorber are discussed in collaboration with FE simulations.     

Experimental investigation of holes interaction effect on the sound absorption coefficient of micro-perforated panels under high and medium sound levels

This paper experimentally investigates the holes interaction effect on the sound absorption coefficient of micro-perforated panels under high and medium sound levels. The theoretical formulations are based on a semi-empirical approach and the use of Fok’s function to model the acoustic surface impedance. For the high sound level regime, an empirical power law involving three coefficients is adapted. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that these coefficients can lead to optimized absorption performance and particularly, a formula relating the critical Reynolds number (Reynolds number value after which the absorption coefficient decreases with the increase of sound level) and the center-to-center distance between the perforations is derived. It is demonstrated that the first coefficient of the nonlinear acoustic resistance strongly depends on the separation distance between the apertures and decreases with a decrease of this latter distance. Analysis of the data reveals the fact that even with Holes Interaction Effect (HIE), the nonlinear reactance dependence on velocity is still very low compared to the resistance-velocity dependence. Four perforated panels of 1.5 mm thickness with different separation distances between the holes (from widely to closely separation) were built and tested. Experimental results performed with an impedance tube are compared with the described model for HIE. To test the dependence of the coefficients on frequency, the experiments are carried out for two different excitation frequencies (292 Hz and 506 Hz). The results can be used for designing optimal perforated panels for ducts, silencers and for the automotive industry.     

穿孔率和穿孔直径耦合下微穿孔板吸声体整体吸声性能

微穿孔板几何参数的耦合性及其对整体吸声性能的影响,对于设计微穿孔板吸声体和优化其工作性能具有指导作用。根据微穿孔板吸声体基本理论,研究了穿孔率和穿孔直径双参数耦合作用下微穿孔板吸声体的整体吸声性能。穿孔率和穿孔直径之间的耦合性与其本身取值密切相关,而与板厚和板后腔深无明显关系;在穿孔率-穿孔直径参数域上,吸声体存在吸声系数为1.0的吸收峰,整体吸声性能随穿孔率或穿孔直径从小到大变化,呈现出先增强后减弱的变化趋势。该结论能够准确解释微穿孔板受粉尘污染后吸声性能的变化规律和演变路径。论文的工作为设计微穿孔板吸声体提供了一种新的理论依据和实施方法。      

Semicylindrical acoustic transducer from a dielectric elastomer film with compliant electrodes

A semicylindrical acoustic transducer was constructed using a dielectric elastomer film with compliant electrodes that is an electroactive polymer composed of a polyurethane elastomer base and polyethylene dioxythiophene/polystyrene sulfonate electrodes. The use of this dielectric elastomer is advantageous because polyurethane is a common material that keeps its shape without any rigid frame. Because the dielectric elastomer films are essentially incompressible, electric-field-induced thickness changes are usually translated into much larger changes of the film area and side length. Here it is proposed that this change in side length can be utilized for sound generation when the film is bent into a semicylindrical shape. Accordingly, a semicylindrical acoustic transducer was fabricated using a film of thickness of 300 μm and its acoustic characteristics were investigated. The transducer can be operated at low applied voltages by reducing the film thickness, as long as the film is thick enough to generate sufficient force to overcome sound radiation impedance. The second harmonic distortion of the transducer was also investigated as a function of the ratio of the direct current bias voltage to the alternating current audio signal amplitude.     

Applying micro-perforated panels in the measurement of sound source characteristics in a duct system

In order to measure the acoustic characteristics of the sound source in a duct system effectively without destroying the main duct,micro-perforated panel structures were applied in the new method by attaching the side branch tubes.The effect and influence to change the acoustical impedance of the loads in a duct system was analyzed and simulated for using one layer and double-layer micro-perforated panel and back cavities with different parameters such as panel thickness,hole diameter,perforation ration,back depth and so on.The results show that the load’s resistance can be changed efficiently by adjusting panel thickness,hole diameter, perforation ratio,the ratio of cross-section between ducts and tubes and other parameters;and the load’s reactance can be changed efficiently by adjusting back depth and distance between micro-perforated panel and main duct.It is also found that combinative usage of one layer and double-layer of these structures can change the reactance substantially in broad frequency domain.The method and the efficient performance of the structures with micro-perforated panel in the measurement were verified by the experiment under the situations of flow and no-flow. Finally,suggestions to design and apply these structures in the above-mentioned method in application were given.     

Enhancing the low frequency sound absorption of a perforated panel by parallel-arranged extended tubes

This paper is concerned with the use of a perforated panel with extended tubes (PPET) to improve the sound absorption confined to low frequencies. In comparison with a micro-perforated panel (MPP), the sound absorption can be significantly improved by using the PPET at the expense of the bandwidth of the sound absorption. A particular configuration combining four parallel-arranged PPETs with different cavities is introduced to achieve a wider bandwidth of the sound absorption at low frequencies. The analysis is extended to the combination of three parallel-arranged PPETs and a MPP to further increase the bandwidth of the sound absorption. A theoretical model is described to predict the sound absorption coefficient and the simulated annealing method is introduced to the proposed absorbers, allowing optimization of the overall performance. The theory with experimental validations demonstrates that the proposed configurations offer a potential improvement of more than one octave in the bandwidth of the sound absorption at low frequencies.     

不同声强宽带噪声激励下结构参数对穿孔板消声器吸声特性影响的实验研究

高声压级激励下,由于非线性效应的存在,穿孔板消声器的吸声特性将发生改变,而改变量的大小与穿孔板的结构参数(穿孔率,孔径,板厚)密切相关。本文设计搭建了实验平台来研究结构参数的变化对穿孔板消声器的吸声特性的影响。根据实验结果发现:随着声压级的升高,由于穿孔板结构的非线性加剧,其声阻抗将发生变化,导致穿孔板消声器的吸收峰值降低,但吸收频带却拓宽了;在穿孔率一定的情况下,孔径越小的穿孔板消声器更适合低声压级环境工作;在孔径一定的情况下,穿孔率越低的穿孔板消声器也更适合低声压级环境工作。
