As a light-weight and ultra-thin artificial material, acoustic metamaterial have more different attributes than natural material. The study of sound insulation for acoustic metamaterial is hot, and the membrane-type acoustic metamaterials supplement the deficiency of linear sound insulation materials. The physical material parameters (young modulus and loss factors)of base material of membrane-type acoustic metamaterials (PVC) is obtained by cantilever beam dynamic measurement method. The acoustic metamaterial sound insulation analysis is simulated by CAE method based on the material parameters that measured. The configuration of the simulation accuracy is measured on impedance tube, and the design work of the acoustic metamaterial sound insulation for transformer is provided. The relationship between sound insulation and the mass on membrane-type acoustic metamaterial at the different frequencies (100Hz to 500Hz) provides the reference to set sound insulation frequency.

Membrane-type acoustic metamaterials are thin films or plates composed of periodic units with small additional mass. A large number of studies have shown that these metamaterials exhibit tunable anti-resonance, and their transmission loss values are much higher than the corresponding quality laws. At present, most researches on membrane-type acoustic metamaterials focus on the unit cell, and the sound insulation frequency band can only be adjusted by adjusting the structural parameters and material parameters. In this paper, two kinds of acoustic metamaterials with different structures are designed, which are the center placement of the mass and the eccentric placement of the mass.The two structures have different sound insulation characteristics. By designing different array combinations of acoustic metamaterials, the sound insulation peaks of different frequency bands are obtained. This paper studies the corresponding combination law, and effectively realizes the adjustable sound insulation frequency band.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to developing a kind of acoustic metamaterial with wide frequency band especially in low frequency region. At the same time, its the tunability of sound insulation frequency is achieved. Design/methodology/approach A three-dimensional (3D) acoustic metamaterial consisting of rigid frame, spherical attachment and thin film is proposed. The material parameters and the effect of the attachment hole on the forbidden band are investigated by finite element simulation. The sound insulation effect of the structure is validated by the combination of simulation and experiment. Findings The results show that the elastic modulus of the structural material determines the initial frequency of the forbidden band of the proposed 3D acoustic metamaterials. The lower the elastic modulus of the structural material, the lower the initial frequency of the forbidden band. The material parameters of the frame mainly affect the initial frequency of the first forbidden band, and the material parameters of the attachment will affect both the initial and termination frequency of the first forbidden band. Holes in the attachments reduce the band gap width. The characteristic curve moves down with the increase of subtracted mass. Research limitations/implications The findings may greatly benefit the application of the acoustic metamaterials in the fields of sound insulation and noise reduction. Originality/value This acoustic metamaterial structure has excellent sound insulation performance. At the same time, the single cell structure can be assembled into any shape. The structure can achieve sound selective filtering and combination control.

Low- and medium-frequency noise from ship cabins is difficult to control effectively. Excessive noise can seriously affect the acoustic stealth performance of ships. A novel membrane-type acoustic metamaterial is proposed in this paper with light weight and good sound insulation performance at low frequencies. The sound insulation performance of the metamaterial structure is analysed by using the acoustic-solid coupling module in COMSOL software. Then, the ability to change the sound insulation performance of membrane-type acoustic metamaterials with cell structure and material parameters is obtained. The research results in this paper provide powerful technical support for noise control in ship cabins.

Insulation Performance

Purpose With the development of the modern technology and aerospace industry, the noise pollution is remarkably affecting people’s daily life and has been become a serious issue. Therefore, it is the most important task to develop efficient sound attenuation barriers, especially for the low-frequency audible range. However, low-frequency sound attenuation is usually difficult to achieve for the constraints of the conventional mass-density law of sound transmission. The traditional acoustic materials are reasonably effective at high frequency range. This paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Membrane-type local resonant acoustic metamaterial is an ideal low-frequency sound insulation material for its structure is simple and lightweight. In this paper, the finite element method is used to study the low-frequency sound insulation performances of the coupled-membrane type acoustic metamaterial (CMAM). It consists of two identical tensioned circular membranes with fixed boundary. The upper membrane is decorated by a rigid platelet attached to the center. The sublayer membrane is attached with two weights, a central rigid platelet and a concentric ring with inner radius e. The influences of the distribution and number of the attached mass, also asymmetric structure on the acoustic attenuation characteristics of the CMAM, are discussed. Findings In this paper, the acoustic performance of asymmetric coupled-membrane metamaterial structure is discussed. The influences of mass number, the symmetric and asymmetry structure on the sound insulation performance are analyzed. It is shown that increasing the number of mass attached on membrane, structure exhibits low-frequency and multi-frequency acoustic insulation phenomenon. Compared with the symmetrical structure, asymmetric structure shows the characteristics of lightweight and multi-frequency sound insulation, and the sound insulation performance can be tuned by adjusting the distribution mode and location of mass blocks. Originality/value Membrane-type local resonant acoustic metamaterial is an ideal low-frequency sound insulation material for its structure is simple and lightweight. How to effectively broaden the acoustic attenuation band at low frequency is still a problem. But most of researchers focus on symmetric structures. In this study, the asymmetric coupled-membrane acoustic metamaterial structure is examined. It is demonstrated that the asymmetric structure has better sound insulation performances than symmetric structure.

Membrane Type

The transmission loss (TL) of membrane-type acoustic metamaterials consisting of small mass and rubber membrane was studied. By establishing a mass-spring equivalent model of metamaterial structural unit, which regards rubber membrane as having the dual role of damping force and spring force, we demonstrated that effective mass density of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial was negative in the band gap range by theoretical analysis. Based on the theory of plane wave propagation, we studied the sound insulation of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial. The result showed that membrane-type metamaterial was based on the principle of dipole resonance, which made the membrane-type acoustic metamaterial appear high reflection and low transmission phenomenon so as to achieve the aim of reducing noise. By optimal design, the sound attenuation frequency range of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial was reduced to 20Hz-100Hz, greatly enhancing the ability of this metamaterial in terms of low-frequency sound insulation. We obtained the distribution of sound intensity at the optimum transmission frequency and the best reflection frequency by coupled acoustic-structural analysis. The best sound insulation frequency was matched with the second order and the third order eigenfrequency of this membrane-type acoustic metamaterial unit, and the strain energy was concentrated at the joint of small mass and the membrane. The total sound insulation of acoustic metamaterial plate was better than the single metamaterial unit.

Theoretical Results

Membrane-type acoustic metamaterials (MAMs) with negative dynamic mass have demonstrated the effects in the sound transmission loss (STL) at low-frequency range. This research aims to design a membrane-type acoustic metamaterial muffler (MAMM) based on the present MAMs, and to solve the problem that airflow cannot flow unimpededly in the channel once using the MAMs. For a better understanding of MAMM, the resonance frequency of the membrane was calculated and simulation was used to study the acoustic transmission performance of the MAMM. The simulation results were verified in comparison with the theoretical results of the membrane. This MAMM reduced the structural size of muffler compared with the traditional Helmholtz muffler and expand muffler, which can find application for the MAMs in acoustic absorption and noise control.
