Abstract
This paper focuses on improving the sound absorption performance of Helmholtz resonators at low frequencies by optimizing its neck structure with a given limited cavity volume. It is found that the design of incorporating a spiral baffle at the neck can greatly utilize the neck space and effectively improve the low-frequency sound absorption performance. An impedance model based on the effective length and cross-sectional area of the neck is developed and good predictions on the sound absorption performance against the experimental results are achieved. Both the linear and nonlinear resistances are modeled and validated against experimental results. Notably, under higher sound pressure levels (in the nonlinear region), the HR with spiral neck structure could maintain a more robust sound absorption performance compared to the HR with a traditional orifice neck or an extended orifice neck. This includes both a larger peak sound absorption coefficient and a smaller deviation of the resonance frequency at higher sound pressure levels. The theoretical model is finally used to optimize the spiral neck structure parameters and the results are validated by experimental measurements.
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.
