Состояние проблемы. Звукоизоляция легких перегородок значительно зависит от места их установки в здании. Необходимы исследования структуры звукового поля в несоразмерных помещениях и анализ его влияния на звукоизоляцию легких ограждений. Результаты. Проведены натурные и лабораторные экспериментальные исследования звукоизоляции каркасно-обшивной перегородки, установленной в коридоре. Для случая соразмерного помещения получена хорошая сходимость результатов. Теоретически исследована структура звукового поля при зеркальном отражении звука (с использованием метода прослеживания лучей). Выполнены расчеты с получением распределений долей осевых, касательных и косых лучей в помещениях, расчеты уровней интенсивности звуковых волн, падающих на боковые стены и потолок коридора. Учитывалось положение источника шума относительно перегородки и других ограждений. Выводы. Пропорции помещений влияют на звукоизоляцию легких ограждений. В диапазоне ниже граничной частоты диффузности несоразмерного помещения с источником шума структура звукового поля неоднородная, звуковые лучи падают на ограждение неравномерно с различных направлений. Это приводит к уменьшению совпадений мод колебаний в воздухе и в ограждающей конструкции, частотная характеристика звукоизоляции ограждения имеет пикообразный вид. Statement of the problem. Sound insulation of lightweight partitions depends significantly on the place of installation in the building. It is necessary to study the structure of the sound field in disproportionate rooms and analyze its effect on the sound insulation of light enclosures. Results. Natural and laboratory experimental studies of the sound insulation of the frame partitions installed in the corridor were carried out. For the case of a commensurate room, good convergence of the results was obtained. The structure of the sound field with mirror reflection of sound has been theoretically investigated using the method of tracing of sound rays. Calculations were performed to obtain the distributions of the proportions of axial sound rays, tangential sound rays, oblique sound rays in the premises, and the calculations of the intensity levels of sound waves incident on the lightweight partition and other enclosures of the corridor. The position of the noise source relative to the lightweight partition and other enclosures of the corridor was taken into account. Conclusions. The proportions of the rooms affect the sound insulation of lightweight enclosures. The structure of the sound field of a disproportionate room with a noise source is non-uniform in the range below the boundary frequency of diffuse sound field. Sound rays fall on the lightweight partition unevenly from different directions. This leads to a decrease in the coincidence of wave modes in the air and wave modes in the lightweight partition. The frequency characteristic of the sound insulation of the lightweight partition has a peak-like appearance.

Acoustic Characteristics

A set of experimental studies is carried out to determine the acoustic characteristics of three-dimensional panels of fixed thickness made of carbon-based composite material installed in the opening between the reverberation chambers. Sound insulation indices are determined when they are excited by a diffuse sound field in wide frequency ranges. The reverberation time in model chambers with different partition configurations is calculated. The optimal configuration of the partition with pyramidal cells to reduce the reverberation time in the rooms is determined. The use of graphite in the form of thin membrane applied to various surfaces can significantly reduce the sound pressure levels in the room and increase the sound insulation indices of air noise. In addition to thin membrane, graphite can be used as an additive in composite materials for sound insulation purposes. It is shown that the characteristics of such panels are quite universal. The measured acoustic characteristics of composite panels are compared with similar characteristics of traditional materials. It is determined that the composition belongs to the I group of fire-retardant efficiency and can be recommended for use as a fire-retardant material. The developed acoustic material is an effective absorbing agent that solves problems in architectural acoustics, echo cancellation in construction and architecture. Similar to metamaterials, natural and artificial graphites allow to solve these problems with small volumes and masses using simple and inexpensive technologies.

Theoretical and experimental studies have been made of the manner in which sound waves are propagated in porous granular aggregates. A cylindrical piezo‐electric source is used and this simulates the explosion of a charge in a seismic shot‐hole. It is found that in general two waves of volume expansion are propagated and that these involve coupled displacements of both constituents of the media. The waves are termed frame‐waves, air‐waves or liquid‐waves depending upon the nature of the pore‐filler and the relative displacements of the constituents. The frame‐wave velocity is dependent upon the strength of the frame, the densities of solid and pore‐filling materials and the texture of the medium. Air‐ and liquid‐wave velocities are related to the texture of the medium and to the density and viscosity of the pore‐filler. Frame‐strength is important to a lesser degree. Waves are dispersive only in the case of media of very low permeability. Attenuation is related to viscosity, texture and frequency. Scattering is probably important only at the highest frequencies and largest particle diameters used in the experiments. It is shown that porosity and permeability of a beach sand can be inferred from velocity measurements. These properties provide information regarding grain‐size, sorting and the nature of the pore‐filler.

AbstractRecently strong sound wave was proposed to enhance precipitation. The theoretical basis of this proposal has not been effectively studied either experimentally or theoretically. Based on the microscopic parameters of atmospheric cloud physics, this paper solved the complex nonlinear differential equation to show the movement characteristics of cloud droplets under the action of sound waves. The motion process of individual cloud droplet in a cloud layer in the acoustic field is discussed as well as the relative motion between two cloud droplets. The effects of different particle sizes and sound field characteristics on particle motion and collision are studied to analyze the dynamic effects of thunder-level sound waves on cloud droplets. The amplitude of velocity variation has positive correlation with Sound Pressure Level (SPL) and negative correlation with the frequency of the surrounding sound field. Under the action of low-frequency sound waves with sufficient intensity, individual cloud droplets could be forced to oscillate significantly. The droplet smaller than 40μm can be easily driven by sound waves of 50 Hz and 123.4 dB. The calculation of the collision process of two droplets reveals that the disorder of motion for polydisperse droplets is intensified, resulting in the broadening of the collision time range and spatial range. When the acoustic frequency is less than 100Hz (@ 123.4dB) or the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) is greater than 117.4dB (@ 50Hz), the sound wave can affect the collision of cloud droplets significantly. This study provides theoretical perspective of acoustic effect to the microphysics of atmospheric clouds.

Wave Transducer

A spiral sound wave transducer comprised of longitudinal vibrating elements has been proposed. This transducer was made from eight uniform radial distributed longitudinal vibrating elements, which could effectively generate low frequency underwater acoustic spiral waves. We discuss the production theory of spiral sound waves, which could be synthesized by two orthogonal acoustic dipoles with a phase difference of 90 degrees. The excitation voltage distribution of the transducer for emitting a spiral sound wave and the measurement method for the transducer is given. Three-dimensional finite element modeling (FEM)of the transducer was established for simulating the vibration modes and the acoustic characteristics of the transducers. Further, we fabricated a spiral sound wave transducer based on our design and simulations. It was found that the resonance frequency of the transducer was 10.8 kHz and that the transmitting voltage resonance was 140.5 dB. The underwater sound field measurements demonstrate that our designed transducer based on the longitudinal elements could successfully generate spiral sound waves.

Abstract Within the present study, the effect of hemp (40 wt%) and polyactide (60 wt%), non-woven surface density, thickness and number of fibre web layers on the sound absorption coefficient and the sound transmission loss in the frequency range from 50 to 5000 Hz is analysed. The sound insulation properties of the experimental samples have been determined, compared to the ones in practical use, and the possible use of material has been defined. Non-woven materials are ideally suited for use in acoustic insulation products because the arrangement of fibres produces a porous material structure, which leads to a greater interaction between sound waves and fibre structure. Of all the tested samples (A, B and D), the non-woven variant B exceeded the surface density of sample A by 1.22 times and 1.15 times that of sample D. By placing non-wovens one above the other in 2 layers, it is possible to increase the absorption coefficient of the material, which depending on the frequency corresponds to C, D, and E sound absorption classes. Sample A demonstrates the best sound absorption of all the three samples in the frequency range from 250 to 2000 Hz. In the test frequency range from 50 to 5000 Hz, the sound transmission loss varies from 0.76 (Sample D at 63 Hz) to 3.90 (Sample B at 5000 Hz).

Abstract The experimental studies of the second sound waves propagation in a resonator with a deuterium-helium gel were carried out. The latest experimental results, combined with those obtained in earlier experiments, have shown that the propagation of the second sound waves in gels leads to their significant attenuation and a decrease in the propagation velocity. This behavior differs from the case of the propagation of the sound waves of a two-component system with a strongly slow normal component and may indicate changes in the properties of superfluidity under confined geometry conditions.

Numerical Simulation Method

A numerical simulation method on noise prediction, which incorporates aerodynamics and sound wave equations based on acoustic analogy, is presented in the paper. Near-field unsteady aerodynamic characteristic can be obtain by large eddy simulation (LES), and far-field propagation of sound waves and spatial sound-field can be obtain by solving the time-domain integral equations of Ffowcs Williams and Hawings (FW-H). Based on the method, a numerical simulation was done on a two-dimension cylinder and a three-dimension flat plate with blunt leading edge. The agreement of numerical results with experiment data validated the Feasibility of the method. The results also indicate that LES can describe vortex generation and shedding in the flow-fields, and FW-H formulation, which has taken time-lag between sound emission and reception times into account, can simulate time-effect of sound propagation toward far-fields.

In the frame of the SOPRANOISE project (funded by CEDR in the Transnational Road Research Programme 2018) the database of the European noise barrier market developed during the QUIESST project was updated with newly acquired data. This database gives the opportunity for an empirical study on the correlation between the different measurement methods for the acoustic properties of noise barriers (according to the EN 1793 series) to further investigate the interrelationships between these methods by using single-number ratings and third-octave band data. First a correlation of the measurement methods for sound absorption under diffuse field conditions (EN 1793-1) and sound reflection under direct sound field conditions (EN 1793-5) is presented. Secondly, a correlation of the measurement methods for airborne sound insulation under diffuse field conditions (EN 1793-2) and airborne sound insulation under direct sound field conditions (EN 1793-6) is shown. While for airborne sound insulation a distinct correlation is found due to the wide data range, for sound absorption no robust correlation can be found.
