Abstract
This work presents a new underwater pressure-resistant sandwich structure (PRSS) that owns both well mechanical and acoustic properties. The two panels of PRSS are carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and the core layer is made of the carbon fiber truss (CFT) and rubber matrix embedded with cavities. The test sample of PRSS is prepared and sound absorption coefficients are measured under various water pressures in the acoustic tube. Meanwhile, the finite element (FE) model of PRSS is established in the COMSOL to simulate its sound propagation behaviors in water. Gained experimental and numerical results have good agreements, which confirm the effectiveness of acoustic tube test and FE simulation. The experiment verifies the efficient sound absorption coefficient (≥0.7) of PRSS at the broadband frequency range (2800 Hz-10000 Hz) and also demonstrates its low sensitivity of sound absorption with respect to the change of pressure (0.1 MPa to 4 MPa). Then the sound absorption mechanism of PRSS is discussed through numerical analyses. It is found that there are two significant absorption peaks in the range of 500 Hz-10000 Hz. Besides, parameters effects on the two absorption peaks are characterized, revealing the critical “acoustic bridge” role of CFT in directing sound energy deeper into the structure and resulting in more dissipation.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
