A three-dimensional model for T-shaped acoustic resonators with sound absorption materials

Recent development in noise control using T-shaped acoustic resonators calls for the development of more reliable and accurate models to predict their acoustic characteristics, which is unfortunately lacking in the literature. This paper attempts to establish such a model based on three-dimensional theory for T-shaped acoustic resonators containing sound absorption materials. The model is validated by experiments using various configurations. Predictions on fundamental and high-order resonance frequencies are compared with those obtained from the one-dimensional model and finite element analyses, and the effects of the physical and geometric parameters of the absorption materials on the resonance frequencies and Q-factor are also investigated numerically and experimentally. Limitations and applicability of existing one-dimensional models are assessed. The proposed general three-dimensional model proved to be able to provide an accurate and reliable prediction on the resonance frequencies for T-shaped acoustic resonators with or without absorption materials. This can eventually meet the requirement for resonator array design in terms of accuracy.     

Acoustic instabilities control using Helmholtz resonators

The main focus of the present work is to evaluate the performance of the Helmholtz resonators to control acoustic instabilities inside combustion chambers. In the present stage of this work, some tests were conducted with non-reactive flow inside the combustion chamber. This paper presents a methodology to design the resonators and the calculations to theoretically determine the acoustic performance of damp instabilities, an experimental setup especially developed to study instabilities in reactive and non-reactive flows, and the experimental results for non-reactive situation with and without flow. The results show that the resonator has an exceptional capacity to damp the oscillations in the frequency of the design; but, it has a narrow range of actuation close to the design frequency. In addition, the experiments show that the resonator presence can modify the spectrum of frequencies, and in some cases it amplifies the oscillations, having the flow velocity inside the chamber some considerable influence in the performance attenuation.

On optimal design of half-wave resonators for acoustic damping in an enclosure

Acoustic design parameters of a half-wave resonator are studied experimentally for purely acoustic tuning of the resonator. According to the standard acoustic-test procedures, acoustic-pressure signals in the model enclosure with the resonators are measured. Based on the signals, quantitative acoustic properties of damping factor and sound absorption coefficient are evaluated and thereby, the acoustic-damping capacity of the resonator is characterized. Sound absorption coefficient has the advantages of the damping factor in various aspects. The coefficient indicates clearly the tuning frequency of the resonator, absorption effectiveness as a function of frequency, and overall damping capacity. The diameter and the number of a half-wave resonator, its distribution, and the blockage ratio at its inlet are selected as design parameters for optimal tuning of the resonator in the model enclosure. The resonators with larger diameter have the advantage of those with smaller one with respect to purely acoustic damping at the tuning frequency. The optimum number of resonators or the optimum open-area ratio decreases as boundary absorption decreases. When the open-area ratio exceeds the optimum value, over-damping appears, leading to a decrease in peak absorption coefficient and a broadening of absorption bandwidth. Blockage at the resonator inlet controls both peak absorption coefficient and its absorption bandwidth and it can be considered one of design factors for acoustic tuning.     

Wave propagation in a duct with a periodic Helmholtz resonators array

Helmholtz resonator is often used to reduce noise in a narrow frequency range. To obtain a broader noise attenuation band, combing several resonators is a possible way. This paper presents a theoretical study of sound propagation in a one-dimensional duct with identical side-branch resonators mounted periodically. The analysis of each resonator was based on a distributed-parameter model that considered multi-dimensional wave propagation in its neck-cavity interface. This model provided a more accurate prediction of the resonant frequency of the resonator than traditional lumped-parameter model. Bloch wave theory and the transfer matrix method were used to investigate wave propagation in these spatially periodic resonators. The results predicted by the theory fit well with the computer simulation using a three-dimensional finite element method and the experimental results. This study indicates that the wave coupling in this periodic system results in the dispersion of the frequency band into the stop and the pass bands. The long-term significance is that periodic resonators may more effectively control noise in ducts by broadening the bandwidth they attenuate and increasing the magnitude of sound attenuation.     

Toward broadband electroacoustic resonators through optimized feedback control strategies

This paper presents a methodology for the design of broadband electroacoustic resonators for low-frequency room equalization. An electroacoustic resonator denotes a loudspeaker used as a membrane resonator, the acoustic impedance of which can be modified through proportional feedback control, to match a target impedance. However, such impedance matching only occurs over a limited bandwidth around resonance, which can limit its use for the low-frequency equalization of rooms, requiring an effective control at least up to the Schroeder frequency. Previous experiments have shown that impedance matching can be achieved over a range of a few octaves using a simple proportional control law. But there is still a limit to the feedback gain, beyond which the feedback-controlled loudspeaker becomes non-dissipative. This paper evaluates the benefits of using PID control and phase compensation techniques to improve the overall performance of the electroacoustic resonator. More specifically, it is shown that some adverse effects due to high-order dynamics in the moving-coil transducer can be mitigated. The corresponding control settings are also identified with equivalent electroacoustic resonator parameters, allowing a straightforward design of the controller. Experimental results using PID control and phase compensation are finally compared in terms of sound absorption performances. As a conclusion the overall performances of electroacoustic resonators for damping the modal resonances inside a duct are presented, along with general discussions on practical implementation and the extension to actual room modes damping.

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.

Natural frequency for exponential shaped thermoacoustic resonator

The two-dimensional nonlinear acoustic field of eleven exponential shaped resonators was simulated with a computational fluid dynamics software Fluent.The influence of driving frequency and driving intensity on pressure in resonator as well as its natural frequency was investigated.The relationship between natural frequency and theoretical calculation resonance frequency was also explored.It is found that beating phenomena can be observed in the resonator when the driving frequency deviates from the natural frequency.Moreover,the natural frequency of resonator increases with the increasing of driving intensity,which shows a hard spring effect.However,the driving intensity plays little effect on natural frequency and the natural frequencies are smaller than the theoretical calculation values in any driving intensity.Meanwhile,a formula between the natural frequency and its first-order resonance frequency from theoretical calculation was obtained by linear fitting for all these exponential shaped resonators under consideration.It is also found that the highest pressure amplitude and highest pressure ratio can be obtained from the exponential shaped resonator of m=2.8 under the same driving intensity.Moreover,the relation between natural frequency and the theoretical resonance frequency for m=2.8-tube is slightly different from other tubes in consideration.

INSERTION LOSS OF A CAVITY-BACKED SEMI-CYLINDRICAL ENCLOSURE PANEL

In this paper, the insertion loss of a cavity-backed semi-cylindrical enclosure panel is studied theoretically and experimentally. The classical approach based on Narayanan [1] and Lee [2] is employed to the semi-cylindrical enclosure modelling. The theoretical model considers the three-dimensional acoustic modes of the semi-cylindrical cavity and the noise source vibration mode shape. The experimental result agrees reasonably with the theoretical prediction. It is found that the higher structural resonance in the semi-cylindrical can significantly deteriorate the insertion loss performance while only the (1,1) mode structural resonance in the rectangular models is the important one. The noise source panel vibrating in the (3,1) mode shape induces higher air pressure on the semi-cylindrical panel through the air cavity than the (1,1) mode shape.     

Virtual sensors for active noise control in acoustic-structural coupled enclosures using structural sensing: robust virtual sensor design

The work was aimed to develop a robust virtual sensing design methodology for sensing and active control applications of vibro-acoustic systems. The proposed virtual sensor was designed to estimate a broadband acoustic interior sound pressure using structural sensors, with robustness against certain dynamic uncertainties occurring in an acoustic-structural coupled enclosure. A convex combination of Kalman sub-filters was used during the design, accommodating different sets of perturbed dynamic model of the vibro-acoustic enclosure. A minimax optimization problem was set up to determine an optimal convex combination of Kalman sub-filters, ensuring an optimal worst-case virtual sensing performance. The virtual sensing and active noise control performance was numerically investigated on a rectangular panel-cavity system. It was demonstrated that the proposed virtual sensor could accurately estimate the interior sound pressure, particularly the one dominated by cavity-controlled modes, by using a structural sensor. With such a virtual sensing technique, effective active noise control performance was also obtained even for the worst-case dynamics.     

Transmission characteristics of a Fabry-Perot etalon-microtoroid resonator coupled system

The transmission spectra of a Fabry-Perot etalon coupled to a microtoroid resonator are studied theoretically and experimentally. The resonance line shapes depend strongly on the resonance wavelength detuning and coupling strength between the two resonators. A wide variety of line shapes, ranging from a single to triple peaks, symmetric to asymmetric Fano-like peaks, and notches were predicted and observed experimentally. The capability to modify the spectral line shapes by tuning the coupling between or losses of two resonators may find applications in optical filtering, switching, sensing, and dispersion engineering.     

Sound absorption of microperforated panel mounted with helmholtz resonators

Microperforated panel (MPP) absorbers have been widely used in noise reduction and are regarded as a promising alternative to the traditional porous materials. However, the absorption bandwidth of a single-layer MPP is insufficient to compete with the porous materials. In order to improve the sound absorption ability of the single-layer MPP, MPP mounted with Helmholtz resonators (MPPHR) is introduced. Based on the MPP, Helmholtz resonators theory and electro-acoustical equivalent circuit principle, sound absorption properties of MPPHR are studied. Simulation and experimental results show that MPPHR have two peak frequencies and one anti-resonant frequency. The low-frequency peak is dependent on the Helmholtz resonators, while the high frequency peak is close to the peak of the single-layer MPP. The low-frequency sound absorption peaks move to low frequency with the neck length and the volume of Helmholtz resonators increasing. The high-frequency sound absorption peaks move to high frequency with the volume of Helmholtz resonators cavity increasing. Multiple Helmholtz resonator parallel MPP structure can provide more sound absorption than single MPPHR at low frequency range due to the introduction of more additional sound absorption peaks.     

Acoustic performance of a duct loaded with identical resonators

This paper presents a theoretical study of a duct loaded with identical side-branch resonators. The Bloch wave theory and the transfer matrix method are used to investigate wave propagation in the duct. It is found that this duct-resonator system has a unique attenuation characteristic brought about by structural periodicity. Three types of stop-bands are discussed and their bandwidths are predicted. All of the results predicted by the theory fit well with a computer simulation using a three-dimensional finite element method. Compared to a single resonator, this structure may have a potential application in broadband noise control.
