In this paper, based on statistical energy analysis (SEA), the noise attenuation effect of highway sound absorbing barrier is predicted. The theoretical formula value is compared with the calculated value of statistical energy analysis (SEA) to verify its effectiveness in the prediction of sound barrier. And the insertion loss of sound barrier of mineral wool with diverse material thicknesses and coverage are calculated. The results showed that the noise attenuation of the sound barrier increased by 1.5 dB when the sound absorbing materials are attached to the sound barrier near the acoustic source. The noise attenuation effect of mineral wool is improved in the frequency band below 600 Hz when the thickness is increased. The coverage of mineral cotton increased by 25%, and the noise attenuation increased by 0.4 dB. Meanwhile, it also reflects the advantages of fast and convenient statistical energy analysis (SEA) – only one time modelling and changing its parameters can obtain the corresponding statistical results, which has some excellent reference function.

Abstract The influence of acoustic radiation is considered in the prediction of noise attenuation effect of sound barrier, which provides a theoretical reference for further improving the insertion loss of sound barrier. Based on the theory of thin plate vibration, the vibration mode and natural frequencies of sound barrier under arbitrary boundary conditions are established by using two-dimensional beam function method, and the forced vibration response of the sound barrier is calculated based on the modal superposition method. MATLAB software (MathWorks Company, Natick, Massachusetts, USA) is used to calculate the natural frequencies and the radiated sound power level of the sound barrier, which indicated that the sound radiation caused by external excitation would significantly increase the sound pressure level at the received point, which should be considered as one of the influencing factors in the prediction of noise attenuation effect. The influence of diverse structural parameters on the radiated acoustic power is compared, providing an excellent reference for the design of sound barrier with low noise.

A key assumption of conventional Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) theory is that, for two coupled subsystems, the transmitted power from one to another is proportional to the energy differences between the mode pairs of the two subsystems. Previous research has shown that such an assumption remains valid if each individual subsystem is of high modal density. This thus limits the successful applications of SEA theory mostly to the regime of high frequency vibration modeling. This paper argues that, under certain coupling conditions, conventional SEA can be extended to solve the mid-frequency vibration problems where systems may consist of both mode-dense and mode-spare subsystems, e.g. ribbed-plates.
