Theoretical analysis of the sound absorption characteristics of periodically stiffened micro-perforated plates

The vibro-acoustic responses and sound absorption characteristics of two kinds of periodically stiffened micro-perforated plates are analyzed theoretically. The connected periodical structures of the stiffened plates can be ribs or block-like structures. Based on fundamental acoustic formulas of the micro-perforated plate of Maa and Takahashi, semi-analytical models of the vibrating stiffened plates are developed in this paper. Approaches like the space harmonic method, Fourier transforms and finite element method （FEM） are adopted to investigate both kinds of the stiffened plates. In the present work, the vibro-acoustic responses of micro-perforated stiffened plates in the wavenumber space are expressed as functions of plate displacement amplitudes. After approximate numerical solutions of the amplitudes, the vibration equations and sound absorption coefficients of the two kinds of stiffened plates in the physical space are then derived by employing the Fourier inverse transform. In numerical examples, the effects of some physical parameters, such as the perforation ratio, incident angles and periodical distances etc., on the sound absorption performance are examined. The proposed approaches are also validated by comparing the present results with solutions of Takahashi and previous studies of stiffened plates. Numerical results indicate that the flexural vibration of the plate has a signif- icant effect on the sound absorption coefficient in the water but has little influence in the air.

粘弹性夹心夹层结构卸载后的裂纹持续扩展现象研究

以聚氨酯弹性体钢夹层板为研究对象,对其进行了三点弯曲实验,对不同类型试件的实验结果进行了总结。实验发现,在加载过程中,在弯曲挠度超过一定程度时,夹层板结构的角点位置出现开裂,由于层间强度不足和夹心材料的粘弹性性质,卸载后裂纹会在一段时间内沿层间继续发生扩展,最后导致整个面板发生脱粘或夹心撕裂。针对这一现象,以弹性地基梁理论为基础,计算了上下面板的挠度差异,并使用层间粘结强度来分析试件的临界状态,获得了软夹芯试件和硬夹芯试件的临界破坏的裂纹长度。结果表明,使用层间粘结强度分析方法,获得的结果都能够描述聚氨酯弹性体钢夹层板的层间延迟破坏的特点。     

Discrete material optimization of vibrating laminated composite plates for minimum sound radiation

This paper deals with vibro-acoustic optimization of laminated composite plates. The vibration of the laminated plate is excited by time-harmonic external mechanical loading with prescribed frequency and amplitude, and the design objective is to minimize the total sound power radiated from the surface of the laminated plate to the surrounding acoustic medium. Instead of solving the Helmholtz equation for evaluation of the sound power, advantage is taken of the fact that the surface of the laminated plate is flat, which implies that Rayleigh’s integral approximation can be used to evaluate the sound power radiated from the surface of the plate. The novel Discrete Material Optimization (DMO) formulation has been applied to achieve the design optimization of fiber angles, stacking sequence and selection of material for laminated composite plates. Several numerical examples are presented in order to illustrate this approach.     

Dynamic rupture of polymer–metal bilayer plates

Recent theoretical assessments of metal/polymer bilayers indicate a potentially significant delay in the onset of ductile failure modes, especially under dynamic loading, due to strain hardening of the polymer. The response of copper/polyurethane bilayers under dynamic and quasi-static loadings is investigated via static tensile, static bulge forming and dynamic bulge forming tests. Two polyurethanes PU1 and PU2 were chosen with a significant contrast in stiffness and ductility: PU1 has a glass transition temperature T_g close to ?56 °C and at room temperature it has a low modulus, low strength and a high tensile failure strain. In contrast, PU2 has a T_g of 49 °C and at room temperature it has a high modulus and strength but a much smaller tensile failure strain. In most of the tests, the polymer coatings were approximately twice the thickness of the metal layer. Under static loadings (tensile and bulge forming) the PU2 bilayer outperformed the uncoated metal plate of equal mass while the PU1 bilayer had a performance inferior to the equivalent uncoated plate. We attribute this to the fact that the PU2 retards the necking of the copper layer and thus increases its energy absorption capacity while the PU1 coating provides no such synergistic effect. The dynamic bulge forming tests indicate that on an equal mass basis, the dynamic performance of the PU2 bilayers with a weakly bonded polymer coating were comparable to the uncoated plates but intriguingly, when the PU2 was strongly adhered to the copper plates the performance of these bilayers was inferior to that of the uncoated plates. Thus, the coatings do not provide dynamic performance benefits on an equal mass basis. However, it is shown that increasing the mass of a plate by adding a polyurethane layer can improve the performance for a given total blast impulse. Given the ease of applying polyurethane coatings they may provide a practical solution to enhancing the blast resistance of existing metallic structures.     

The vibroacoustic response and sound absorption performance of multilayer,microperforated rib-stiffened plates

The vibroacoustic response and sound absorption performance of a structure composed of multilayer plates and one rigid back wall are theoretically analyzed. In this structure, all plates are two-dimensional, microperforated, and periodically rib-stiffened. To investigate such a structural system, semianalytical models of one-layer and multilayer plate structures considering the vibration effects are first developed. Then approaches of the space harmonic method and Fourier transforms are applied to a one-layer plate, and finally the cascade connection method is utilized for a multilayer plate structure. Based on fundamental acoustic formulas,the vibroacoustic responses of microperforated stiffened plates are expressed as functions of a series of harmonic amplitudes of plate displacement, which are then solved by employing the numerical truncation method. Applying the inverse Fourier transform, wave propagation, and linear addition properties, the equations of the sound pressures and absorption coefficients for the one-layer and multilayer stiffened plates in physical space are finally derived. Using numerical examples, the effects of the most important physical parameters—for example, the perforation ratio of the plate, sound incident angles, and periodical rib spacing—on sound absorption performance are examined. Numerical results indicate that the sound absorption performance of the studied structure is effectively enhanced by the flexural vibration of the plate in water.Finally,the proposed approaches are validated by comparing the results of stiffened plates of the present work with solutions from previous studies.     

NONLINEAR FLUTTER OF LAMINATED PLATES WITH IN-PLANE FORCE AND TRANSVERSE SHEAR EFFECTS*

Based on a simplified higher-order shear deformation plate theory (SDPT) and von Karman large deformation assumption, a high-precision higher-order triangular-plate element that can be used to deal with transverse shear effects is developed for the nonlinear flutter analysis of composite laminates. The element presents no shear-locking problem due to the assumption that the total transverse displacement of the plate is expressed as the sum of the displacement due to bending and that due to shear deformation. Quasi-steady aerodynamic theory is employed for the flutter analysis. Newmark numerical time integration method is applied to solve the nonlinear governing equation in time domain. Results show that the in-plane force on the plate will increase the maximum plate displacement but will not influence the maximum plate motion speed. However, the aerodynamic pressure will increase both the maximum displacement and velocity of the plate. The transverse shear will have profound influence on the flutter boundary for a thick plate and under certain conditions it will change the plate motion from buckled but dynamically stable to a limit-cycle oscillation.     

Sound absorption near the boundary dividing two liquids

It is well known that sound absorption in finite media is caused mainly by fluid viscosity and thermal conductivity. Kirchhoff [1] developed a general theory describing the mechanism of such absorption and applied it to the particular case of sound propagating in tubes. Rayleigh [2] used Kirchhoff's theory to study sound absorption by a porous wall with normal incidence of the sound wave. Konstantinov [3] also used Kirchhoff's theory to solve the problem of sound absorption by a rigid, isothermal (with infinite thermal conductivity) and a thermally insulating plane wall with arbitrary angle of sound-wave incidence. A natural extension of these efforts is a study of sound absorption on the boundary dividing two liquids. Aside from its scientific interest, such a problem is of practical significance, for example, in hydroacoustics or in creating methods for visualization of sound in gases and liquids [4]. The present study will attempt to solve this problem. The results can be applied to both liquid and solid (resinlike) materials.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 1, pp. 6–9, January–February, 1984.The author thanks T.

Sound absorbing properties of spiral metasurfaces inspired by micro-perforated plates

As a kind of classical low-frequency sound-absorbing material, the microperforated plate (MPP) has been widely used. Here, we inspired by the sound absorption mechanism of the MPP, a spiral metasurface (SM) is designed and the analytical solution of acoustic impedance and sound absorption coefficient are obtained. The relationship between the sound absorption properties of the MPP and the SM with their own structures is systematically studied, and the analytical solutions are used to optimise the structure. It is concluded that the MPP and the SM of the same thickness achieve effective absorption in the frequency range between 390-900 Hz and 1920-4266 Hz, with a total thickness less than 1/6 of the wavelength. Meanwhile, the numerical calculation shows that the MPP and SM can match well with the background medium in the effective rang. Our study provides new insights into the design methods of sound-absorbing materials and is potentially suitable for many acoustic engineering applications.     

The jump phenomenon effect on the sound absorption of a nonlinear panel absorber and sound transmission loss of a nonlinear panel backed by a cavity

Theoretical analysis of the nonlinear vibration effects on the sound absorption of a panel absorber and sound transmission loss of a panel backed by a rectangular cavity is herein presented. The harmonic balance method is employed to derive a structural acoustic formulation from two-coupled partial differential equations representing the nonlinear structural forced vibration and induced acoustic pressure; one is the well-known von Karman??s plate equation and the other is the homogeneous wave equation. This method has been used in a previous study of nonlinear structural vibration, in which its results agreed well with the elliptic solution. To date, very few classical solutions for this nonlinear structural-acoustic problem have been developed, although there are many for nonlinear plate or linear structural-acoustic problems. Thus, for verification purposes, an approach based on the numerical integration method is also developed to solve the nonlinear structural-acoustic problem. The solutions obtained with the two methods agree well with each other. In the parametric study, the panel displacement amplitude converges with increases in the number of harmonic terms and acoustic and structural modes. The effects of excitation level, cavity depth, boundary condition, and damping factor are also examined. The main findings include the following: (1)?the well-known ??jump phenomenon?? in nonlinear vibration is seen in the sound absorption and transmission loss curves; (2)?the absorption peak and transmission loss dip due to the nonlinear resonance are significantly wider than those in the linear case because of the wider resonant bandwidth; and (3)?nonlinear vibration has the positive effect of widening the absorption bandwidth, but it also degrades the transmission loss at the resonant frequency.

Sound emission by a vortex ring passing through a circular hole in a large flat plate

Acoustic emission has been studied experimentally when a vortex ring passes through a circular hole in a large flat plate, along its normal axis. The speed of the vortex ring is made high enough for the sound emission to be detectable, but can be regarded as sufficiently low in comparison to the sound speed. Substantial monopole and quadrupole components are observed in the detected wave profiles. Translational motion of the vortex ring in the presence of the flat plate with a hole has been observed optically, and its relation with the sound emission is determined. In this case, the power law of the acoustic pressure amplitude of monopolar vortex sound versus the translation speed U of the vortex ring is first measured in detail and is found to be U^2.1–U^2.4. This means that experimentally determined powers for the monopole components in the two half-spaces also agree approximately with the corresponding values predicted by the theory of vortex sound.     

软质聚氨酯泡沫的动态压缩力学性能和本构模型

采用Instron 9350落锤试验机研究了中低应变率下软质聚氨酯泡沫的动态压缩力学性能,分析了其应力-应变响应特征和应变率敏感性,讨论了应变率对材料应变率敏感性指数和能量吸收特性的影响,并基于实验结果建立了可准确描述其压缩力学响应的率相关本构模型。结果表明,软质聚氨酯泡沫的静动态压缩应力-应变响应具有典型的三阶段特征,且呈现出明显的应变率强化效应。准静态加载下,材料具有较高的吸能效率但能量吸收值较小,应变率对最大吸能效率和比吸能的影响较小;动态加载下,随着应变率的增加,最大吸能效率显著减小而比吸能明显增大。考虑应变率影响的修正Sherwood-Frost模型和修正Avalle模型都能够很好地表征软质聚氨酯泡沫的静动态压缩应力-应变响应,但修正Avalle模型的参数较少,更便于工程应用。研究结果可为软质聚氨酯泡沫抗冲击结构的设计和优化提供指导。
