Abstract
We propose a new design of two-dimensional acoustic black hole (2D ABH) aimed at vibration suppression across low and broadband frequencies. The proposed 2D ABH occupies a circular installation space, with multiple vortex-shaped ABHs arranged rotationally along the circumference, exhibiting a whirlpool-like configuration when viewed from above. Each vortex-shaped ABH is formed by coiling a width-tapered straight ABH along a newly designed spiral profile, intended to accommodate a long ABH for a low cut-on frequency and to guide flexural waves from a host structure to the ABH tip. The proposed 2D ABH is embedded within a plate and suppresses broadband vibrations, reducing the surface-averaged mobility by up to 20 dB in the 60–2000 Hz frequency range. Compared to a conventional 2D ABH with a cut-on frequency of around 60 Hz, the proposed ABH requires less than 2 % of the installation area. By breaking rotational symmetry in the arrangement of the proposed vortex-shaped ABHs, we could further reduce structural vibrations in the plate compared to a rotationally symmetric arrangement.
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.
