Abstract

This study proposes an acoustic metamaterial featuring a Helmholtz resonator–spiral metasurface (HRSM) to effectively achieve low-frequency broadband sound absorption. A theoretical model is developed to predict the HRSM’s sound absorption performance, and it is validated by numerical simulations and acoustic impedance tube experiments. Results indicated that the spiral metasurface of the HRSM extended the depth of the Helmholtz resonator cavity compared to the Helmholtz resonator, causing the first sound absorption peak of the HRSM to shift to a lower frequency. Additionally, the spiral channels of HRSM impeded wave propagation in the second layer, shifting the second sound absorption peak to a lower frequency, as compared to the double layer Helmholtz resonator. Optimal design was explored further in terms of diameters and lengths of the necks in the upper and lower layers of the HRSM, by taking advantage of the additive nature of absorption peaks generated by distinct units. With a structural thickness of 52 mm, the HRSM achieved closed to 90 % continuous absorption within the frequency range of 270–580 Hz, demonstrating excellent broadband absorption capabilities. This study offers an effective feasible methodology for designing sub-wavelength low-frequency broadband absorption structures.

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.
