Abstract
In recent years, the invention of metastructures has greatly promoted the low-frequency sound insulation technique. However, it is still a difficult task to design multifunctional metastructures that possess light weight, high load-bearing property, and good sound insulation performance at broadband low frequencies. To challenge this problem, this study presents a double-panel metastructure comprising two lightweight sandwich plates with lattice truss-core that are separated by an air gap. By perforating the faceplates of the sandwich plates, the double-panel metastructure can realize acoustic resonance without additionally introducing resonators. For efficient calculation and in-depth analysis of the double-panel metastructure, we develop a semi-analytical method by dynamic homogenization of the fluid and solid domains. The effectiveness of the modeling method is verified by comparing it with the vibroacoustic finite element method. The results of numerical examples demonstrate that the double-panel metastructure can exhibit two low-frequency sound insulation peaks. Within a broadband low-frequency range around the two peaks, the sound transmission loss of the double-panel metastructure is much higher than that of traditional double-panel structures and the mass law. Further, the influence of structural parameters is analyzed and an optimization procedure is conducted. Finally, the sound insulation of the metastructure and the load-bearing capacity of the separated sandwich plates are confirmed by comparative experiments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sound and Vibration (JSV) is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers, both theoretical and experimental, that provide new information on any aspect of sound or vibration. There is an emphasis on fundamental work that has potential for practical application.
JSV was founded and operates on the premise that the subject of sound and vibration requires a journal that publishes papers of a high technical standard across the various subdisciplines, thus facilitating awareness of techniques and discoveries in one area that may be applicable in others.
