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。

Evaluation of the acoustic and non-acoustic properties of sound absorbing materials using a three-microphone impedance tube

This paper presents a straightforward application of an indirect method based on a three-microphone impedance tube setup to determine the non-acoustic properties of a sound absorbing porous material. First, a three-microphone impedance tube technique is used to measure some acoustic properties of the material (i.e., sound absorption coefficient, sound transmission loss, effective density and effective bulk modulus) regarded here as an equivalent fluid. Second, an indirect characterization allows one to extract its non-acoustic properties (i.e., static airflow resistivity, tortuosity, viscous and thermal characteristic lengths) from the measured effective properties and the material open porosity. The procedure is applied to four different sound absorbing materials and results of the characterization are compared with existing direct and inverse methods. Predictions of the acoustic behavior using an equivalent fluid model and the found non-acoustic properties are in good agreement with impedance tube measurements.     

Sound absorption characteristics of a double-leaf structure with an MPP and a permeable membrane

As for the sound absorbing system using an MPP (microperforated panel), a double-leaf MPP sound absorber has been studied so far. However, this structure uses two MPPs, which are still expensive, and is disadvantageous when its cost is concerned. Therefore, it is considered that it can be advantageous if one of the leaves can be replaced with a less expensive material keeping high sound absorption performance. In this study, the possibility of producing a useful sound absorbing structure with an MPP and a permeable membrane as an alternative less expensive material is examined. The acoustic properties of this MPP and permeable membrane combination absorber are analysed theoretically with a Helmholtz integral formulation. The absorption performance and mechanism are discussed through the numerical examples. Also, the effect of a honeycomb in the air cavity, which is to be used for reinforcing the structure, is also discussed through a theoretical analysis.     

Schlieren photography to study sound interaction with highly absorbing materials

Strong absorption of sound is often caused by the conversion of sound energy into heat. When this happens, it is not possible to study the interaction of sound with the absorbing material by means of reflected sound characteristics, because there is no reflected sound. Detecting for example the distance that sound travels in a strongly absorbing material, can be done by heat detection systems. However, the presence of temperature detectors in such materials interferes with the sound field and is therefore not really suitable. Infrared measurements are a possible option. Another option is the use of Schlieren photography for simultaneous visualization of sound and heat. This technique is briefly outlined with a 3 MHz sound beam incident on a highly absorbing sponge.     

Quantifying the through-thickness asymmetry of sound absorbing porous materials

A method to quantify the through-thickness asymmetry of a sound absorbing porous material is proposed and discussed. Its calculation only requires impedance tube measurements of the acoustical surface impedance performed on both sides of the tested material. The method may be used for quality control or to assess the level of asymmetry of the material in terms of its acoustic properties. As a first validation, a two-layered porous system seen as an equivalent asymmetrical single porous layer with a sudden change in its physical properties is studied. From this study, a criterion of asymmetry is suggested and experimentally tested.     

Acoustical and fire-retardant properties of jute composite materials

This research aims to study the acoustical and flammability properties of biodegradable and easily disposable natural fibre jute and its composite for noise reduction in house hold appliances, automotive and architectural applications. Acoustical properties of jute fibre and felt (natural rubber latex jute composite) were measured in terms of normal specific sound absorption coefficient and sound transmission loss whereas fire retardant tests included limiting oxygen, flame propagation and smoke density test. The results illustrate that low density jute is a better sound absorber as compared to high density jute material, moreover natural rubber latex jute composite gives higher sound transmission class value than jute felt/cloth. Results were also compared with commercially available synthetic, non-biodegradable, glass fibre which indicates that the noise reduction coefficient value and sound transmission class rating of natural rubber latex jute felt are comparable to that of the popular fibre glass. Fire retardant tests show composite’s high limiting oxygen index value as compared to fibreboard and other natural sound absorbing material, wool, low smoke density rating and low light absorption with respect to fibre glass as well as self fire extinguishing ability.     

Non-linear effect of wall linings on sound attenuation in ducts

The equivalent surface source method is extended to the analysis of high intensity sound propagation in a duct whose wall is partially treated with a sound absorbing material. The propagation of sound in the gas is assumed to be linear, but the acoustic resistance of the sound absorbing material is assumed to be a function of the normal acoustic velocity. The problem is reduced to a non-linear integro-differential equation for the fluid particle displacement at the lined wall surface, which can be solved by a successive approximation method. Numerical examples show that the non-linear effect decreases or increases the peak sound attenuation rate of the lowest mode depending upon the linear component of the resistance. The dependence of the attenuation spectrum on modal phase difference of multi-mode incident waves is heavily affected by the non-linear effect. In the case of incident waves of multi-circumferential modes, different circumferential modes are generated by the non-linear effect.

A direct mixed-body boundary element method for packed silencers

Bulk-reacting sound absorbing materials are often used in packed silencers to reduce broadband noise. A bulk-reacting material is characterized by a complex mean density and a complex speed of sound. These two material properties can be measured by the two-cavity method or calculated by empirical formulas. Modeling the entire silencer domain with a bulk-reacting lining will involve two different acoustic media, air and the bulk-reacting material. Traditionally, the interior silencer domain is divided into different zones and a multi-domain boundary element method (BEM) may be applied to solve the problem. However, defining different zones and matching the elements along each interface is tedious, especially when the zones are intricately connected. In this paper, a direct mixed-body boundary element method is used to model a packed silencer without subdividing it into different zones. This is achieved by summing up all the integral equations in different zones and then adding the hypersingular integral equations at interfaces. Several test cases, including a packed expansion chamber with and without an absorbing center bullet, and a parallel baffle silencer, are studied. Numerical results for the prediction of transmission loss (TL) are compared to experimental data.     

Durability of sound absorbing materials for highway noise barriers

This paper presents the results of a research study into two properties of sound absorbing materials intended for highway noise barrier applications: their durability and their sound absorption coefficients before and after exposure to adverse weather. After surveying the products of 34 manufacturers, eight materials and one “absorption system” were tested in the field and the laboratory. Even though there is no single, accepted test for weather endurance for these kinds of material, the results of the study provide in ormation on their likely future behaviour when installed on a barrier. The results apply at least partially to other outdoor situations too, and augment the limited information presently available on sound absorptive materials for outdoor use.     

基于声场重建的材料吸声系数测量方法

针对现有方法对材料吸声系数进行现场测量时存在低频测量误差大的问题,本文提出了一种利用扬声器线阵列对材料吸声系数进行现场测量的新方法。该方法使用基于能量比值约束的最小二乘法在待测材料表面进行平面波声场重建并结合双传声器传递函数法对材料的吸声系数进行测量。数值仿真表明在100～1600 Hz频率范围内,新方法在未加约束时能够对材料的吸声系数进行准确测量。在半消声室中利用新方法测量了三聚氰胺泡沫的吸声系数,分析了能量比值约束值对测量结果的影响,并和阻抗管以及其它两种现场测量方法的测量结果进行了对比。结果表明该方法能够对吸声材料在160～1600 Hz频段内的吸声系数进行准确测量,并且相较于现存的现场测量方法,新方法具有更低的测量频率下限。
