Abstract
It is generally difficult for conventional sound absorbing structures to meet the requirements of adjustable broadband low frequency sound absorption in practical applications. An origami-based micro-perforated sandwich sound absorbing metamaterial (OMSSM) is hence proposed in this paper to solve the problem of frequency variable sound absorption and extend low frequency sound absorption bandwidth. The foldable origami structures installed in the back cavities of the micro-perforated sandwich structure act as reconfigurable Helmholtz resonators, the resonance frequencies of the OMSSM are dramatically changed and can be continuously varied with the volume of origami cavities. An analytical model is firstly built to calculate the sound absorption coefficient of OMSSM, and the effectiveness of the analytical model is then verified through finite element simulation and experiment, with good agreement achieved. The adjustable sound absorption with the variation of folding ratio of the origami cavities is demonstrated after that based on the analytical model. Influences of key geometrical parameters on the sound absorption of the OMSSM are revealed through parameter analysis. The key geometrical parameters are subsequently optimized to broaden the frequency adjustable bandwidth to the fullest extent, and results show that the optimized OMSSM has an adjustable sound absorption band 84.3 % broader than that of non-optimized structure. The proposed OMSSM has great potential for applications in the field of active noise control.
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.
