Abstract
Thin film acoustic metamaterials, which have great potential applications in the field of acoustics, have led to the study of various film-type sound-absorbing and sound-insulating structures as well as film-type speakers. Therefore, this paper proposes a dielectric loudspeaker based on dielectric elastomeric films, which can be used for passive noise control and as an active sound-absorbing and noise-reduction unit. For the passive sound absorption performance of dielectric speakers, the impedance and sound absorption coefficient of the structure are obtained through both the acoustic-electrical analog model and theoretical calculations. The resonant frequency of the dielectric speaker, which serves as an active noise reduction unit, is obtained through theoretical calculations. The passive sound absorption coefficient, frequency response curves, and coherence curves of the dielectric speaker were obtained through testing, and it was verified that it could be used as an active noise reduction unit. Theoretical and experimental results show that micro-perforation treatment can effectively enhance the sound absorption performance of dielectric speakers. The resonant frequency of dielectric speakers, as obtained through both theoretical calculations and experiments, is found to be relatively consistent. This study provides new design ideas for the application of thin-film acoustic structures in the field of noise reduction.
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.
