Abstract A hybrid acoustic metamaterial is proposed as a new class of sound absorber, which exhibits superior broadband low-frequency sound absorption as well as excellent mechanical stiffness/strength. Based on the honeycomb-corrugation hybrid core (H-C hybrid core), we introduce perforations on both top facesheet and corrugation, forming perforated honeycomb-corrugation hybrid (PHCH) to gain super broadband low-frequency sound absorption. Applying the theory of micro-perforated panel (MPP), we establish a theoretical method to calculate the sound absorption coefficient of this new kind of metamaterial. Perfect sound absorption is found at just a few hundreds hertz with two-octave 0.5 absorption bandwidth. To verify this model, a finite element model is developed to calculate the absorption coefficient and analyze the viscous-thermal energy dissipation. It is found that viscous energy dissipation at perforation regions dominates the total energy consumed. This new kind of acoustic metamaterials show promising engineering applications, which can serve as multiple functional materials with extraordinary low-frequency sound absorption, excellent stiffness/strength and impact energy absorption.

Underwater acoustic wave absorption and control play an important role in underwater applications. Various types of underwater acoustic metamaterials have been proposed in recent years with the vigorous development of acoustic metamaterials. Compared with airborne sound, underwater sound waves have a longer wavelength and much smaller propagation loss, making them more difficult to control. In addition, given that the acoustic impedance of water is much greater than that of air, numerous conventional materials and structures are not suited to underwater use. In this paper, we propose a composite structure based on an excellent broadband low-frequency sound absorber of air using aluminum mixed with rubber. Our composite structure possesses broadband low-frequency (<1,000 Hz) sound absorption underwater, omnidirectional high sound absorption coefficient under the oblique incidence (0–75°), and pressure resistance. It has promising applications for underwater acoustic wave control and contributes to the design of underwater acoustic metamaterials.

The silicate based low frequency sound absorption composite material was prepared with powdery polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam as filler. The effects of the amounts of PMI and pore-forming agent, and water-cement ratio on sound absorption properties of composite material were researched. Sound absorption coefficient was characterized by standing wave tube, and micro structure of composite material was analyzed by scanning electron microscope. The results show that: when the amounts of PMI and pore-forming agent are 2.5wt% and 0.04wt%, respectively, and water cement ratio is 0.55, the average value of the absorption coefficient on the sound (≤1000Hz)can up to 0.35. Resonating sound absorption structure formed by micro pore of the silicate and thin wall cavity of PMI in composite materials is beneficial to high efficiency absorption to low frequency sound.

A particular structure that consists of four parallel-arranged perforated panel absorbers (PPAs) is proposed for the low frequency sound absorption within a constraint space. The apertures of the perforated panels are set to ≥1.5 mm, and the number of orifices is much less and therefore easier to be produced in comparison with that of the micro perforated panel (MPP). A simple approximation model by using acoustic-electrical analogy is described to calculate the sound absorption coefficient of such device subject to normal wave incidence. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the device can provide more than one octave sound absorption bandwidth at low frequencies.

At present, the scale of China’s power grid is becoming larger and larger, and the control of low-frequency noise in substations (especially for transformers) is very important. The sound-absorbing materials have become one of the important ways to control low-frequency noise. The single polyurethane material cannot satisfy the requirements for reducing low-frequency noise, so it is very necessary to study its composite with other materials. In the paper, the flexible polyurethane foam and Al2O3 nanoparticle composites were obtained by the impregnation method. The method was simple, safe, and easy to control. The morphology and sound absorption coefficient of the foam materials before and after filling were analyzed. Single-hole acoustic cavity models of PU and Al2O3-PU composite were established through the finite element. The absorption and dissipation process of sound pressure for single hole was studied to understand the energy dissipation process. Meanwhile, through studying acoustic energy storage and acoustic energy dissipation, the loss factor of a single hole was obtained, which can predict the change rule of the sound absorption coefficient for PU foam and Al2O3-PU.
