Abstract
Ventilation structures supported by the Fano-like interference can act as high-performance sound silencers, yet the bandwidth gets limited eventually by coexisting resonant transmission. In this work, we focus on the space-coiling ventilation structure, and overcome the limitation by introducing a cylindrical shell made of microperforated panels (MPPs) in between the channel and ventilation pipe. The underlying mechanism is due to the resonance-induced field intensity enhancement within coiling channels, which can produce a significant pressure difference on both sides of the MPP to damp resonant acoustic transmission. Based on this behavior, broadband sound reduction with the bandwidth exceeding an octave can be achieved when two such structural elements are cascaded. Enhanced acoustic damping by MPPs and broadband sound reduction in bi-cell structures are numerically analyzed and validated experimentally.
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.
