Microperforated Panels

Microperforated panels (MPPs) are recognized as suitable absorbers for noise control applications demanding special clean and health requirements.While it is relatively easy to design single-layer MPPs for sound absorption in one-to-two octave bands at medium-high frequencies, the performance for low frequencies (below 600 Hz) leads to a rather narrow-band absorption, similar to that of a Helmholtz resonator. However, multiple-layer MPPs can be designed as sound absorbers that yield low-frequency absorption in a wide frequency band. Recently, multiple-cavity perforated panels have been proposed to improve the performance of MPPs in the low-frequency range. In this article, the capability of multiple-layer and multiple-cavity MPPs to provide sound absorption at low frequencies is analyzed.

Selection Of

This paper considers an anytime strategy to implement controllers that react to changing computational resources. The anytime controllers developed in this paper are suitable for cases when the time scale of switching is in the order of the task execution time, that is, on the time scale found commonly with sporadically missed deadlines. This paper extends the prior work by developing frequency-weighted anytime controllers. The selection of the weighting function is driven by the expectation of the situations that would require anytime operation. For example, if the anytime operation is due to occasional and isolated missed deadlines, then the weighting on high frequencies should be larger than that for low frequencies. Low frequency components will have a smaller change over one sample time, so failing to update these components for one sample period will have less effect than with the high frequency components. An example will be included that applies the anytime control strategy to a model of a DC motor with deadzone and saturation nonlinearities.

Simulation Results

The monostable acoustic metamaterial is realized by placing a flexible panel with a magnetic proof mass in a symmetric magnetic field. The theoretical model of monostable metamaterials has been proposed. The method of finite element simulation is used to verify the theoretical model. The magnetic force of the symmetrical magnetic field is simplified as the relationship between force and displacement, acting on the mass. The simulation results show that as the external magnetic force increases, the peak sound absorption shifts to low frequencies. The theoretical and finite element simulation results are in good agreement.

Preliminary Study

Sound absorption of self-facing natural date palm fibershas been investigated.A single layer sample of the fibers was tested for its sound absorption properties. The sample was then faced with the originally date palm fiber netted structure. Experimental measurements were conducted on the impedance tube at the acoustic lab, Faculty of Engineering, UniversitiKebangsaan Malaysia, to determine the sound absorption coefficient.The single layer was also tested using an aluminum perforated plate, as facing, for comparison purposes.The results show a good improvement in the sound absorption for the self-facing panel for the whole frequency range. However, when using the aluminum perforated panel an improvement in the sound absorption was observed only above 2500 Hz. The effect of introducing air gap thickness was studied. The results show improvement for the sound absorption the low frequency.

Damping Behavior

Studies of high-temperature alloys in the Ti-Sn system based on the intermetallic compound Ti3Sn have identified alloys that damp strongly both at low frequencies (0.1 to 10 Hz) and high frequencies (5 to 20 MHz). The low frequency damping behavior shows loss factors as high as 0.04 at room temperature and Young's moduli that rise with temperature from 40 °C to 100 °C for two alloys. Although the basic mechanism or mechanisms of energy dissipation are presently unknown, the alloys are notable for unusual shapes of microhardness indentations. The deformations imply that large reversible strains can occur at temperatures from 23 °C to 1150 °C.

The presence of pores and cracks in rocks causes the fluid-saturated wave velocities in rocks to be dependent on frequency. New measurements of the bulk modulus at low frequencies (0.02–0.1 Hz) were obtained in the laboratory using oscillation tests carried out on two hydrostatically stressed Fontainebleau sandstone samples, in conjunction with ultrasonic velocities and static measurements, under a range of differential pressures (10–95 MPa), and with three different pore fluids (argon, glycerin, and water). For the 13% and 4% porosity samples, under glycerin- and water-saturated conditions, the low-frequency bulk modulus at 0.02 Hz matched well the low-frequency and ultrasonic dry bulk modulus. The glycerin- and water-saturated samples were much more compliant at low frequencies than at high frequencies. The measured bulk moduli of the tested rocks at low frequencies (0.02–0.1 Hz) were much lower than the values predicted by the Gassmann equation. The frequency dispersion of the P and S velocities was much higher at low differential pressures than at high pressures, due to the presence of open cracks at low differential pressures.

Theoretical Predictions

We performed laboratory experiments to evaluate theoretical models of borehole. Stoneley wave propagation in permeable materials. A Berea sandstone and synthetic samples made of cemented glass beads were saturated with silicone oils. We measured both velocity and attenuation over a frequency band from 10 kHz to 90 kHz. Our theoretical modeling incorporated Biot theory and Deresiewicz‐Skalak boundary conditions into a cylindrical geometry and included frequency‐dependent permeability. By varying the viscosity of the saturating pore fluid, we were able to study both low‐frequency and high‐frequency regions of Biot theory, as well as the intermediate transition zone. In both low‐frequency and high‐frequency regions of the theory, we obtained excellent agreement between experimental observations and theoretical predictions. Velocity and attenuation (1/Q) are frequency‐dependent, especially at low frequencies. Also at low frequencies, velocity decreases and attenuation increases with increasing fluid mobility (permeability/viscosity). More complicated behavior is observed at high frequencies. These results support recent observations from the oil field suggesting that Stoneley wave velocity and attenuation may be indicative of formation permeability.

In this communication, the sound absorption characteristics of rectangular-shaped plane space sound absorbers without any backing structure using permeable membranes (PMs) are measured by reverberation room method. First, three types of PMs, in this study woven fabrics, are selected with different flow resistances and surface densities. They are prepared in the plane rectangular-shaped space absorbers of two different sizes. The measured results are discussed through comparison with the existing theoretical and measured results for absorbers of the other shapes or configurations. The present results and discussion demonstrate that the reverberation absorption coefficients of the proposed absorbers are low at low frequencies and converge to a moderately high value at high frequencies. Especially, ones with higher flow resistance than the air impedance converge to a value greater than 0.5, which is a theoretically estimated maximum absorption coefficient of infinite single-leaf PM. This is inferred to be attributed mainly to area effect. From these results the proposed absorbers can be used effectively despite of their very simple structure. Also it is found that the proposed absorber can offer higher sound absorption than permeable membrane absorbers of other shapes or configuration. Regarding the effect of the size, the absorbers of smaller size offer higher absorption coefficients regardless of material properties of the PMs used in the experiments.

The paper considers sound absorption of the composite materials, which are based on the natural flax and polymer fibers. The thickness of a single layer of obtained nonwoven composite is about 10 mm. The analysis of absorption dependences is carried out for different thicknesses of the material. It is shown that in the low frequency range the absorption almost linearly increases depending on the thickness. The coefficient of the normal absorption increases with the frequency in the range from 50 Hz up to 1600 Hz. The hot-pressed material can be used for panel production. The sound absorption increases with the thickness of the pressed material. The measurements show the possibilities of application of the composite for the production of the parts of cabs’ interior.
