The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of bulk density, thickness, and air gap to sound absorption performance on absorber based sugar palm trunk fibers. The fibers were obtained from solid waste on Small-Medium Enterprises of sago flour processing in Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia. The absorber specimens were formed from the fibers using a simple press molding in an oven at 150 °C. According to ISO 10534-2, the absorber samples were tested using two microphones impedance tube with random noise source to get the curve of the sound absorption coefficient. The result shows that the absorption performance can be improved by increasing bulk density and increasing of sample thickness. Especially at low frequencies, improvement of the sound absorption coefficient can be achieved (NAC > 0.8) by applying the air gap behind the sample. The best performance of absorber based sugar palm trunk fiber can be achieved for (1 000 to 6 000) Hz range frequency.

Absorption Performance

In current times, noise pollution is especially apparent in urban areas due to rapid development in transportation, industrialization, and urbanization. The worsening noise pollution is detrimental to human health and behaviour as it can contribute to disorders and psychological disturbance. Thus, noise regulation is crucial and must be addressed with immediate effect. Micro-perforated panels (MPP) can be a potential solution to mitigate noise on a commercial scale. Researchers have addressed the mechanics behind the enhancement of acoustic absorption through micro-perforation and some suggestions have been made, such as the effect of structural variation on sound absorption performance. Hence, this research aims at optimizing the sound absorption performance of an MPP by determining the connection between thickness and perforation size with sound absorption coefficient. Three cases were considered: (i) varying perforation size, (ii) varying thickness, and (iii) varying perforation size and thickness simultaneously. Based on the Maa prediction model, the sound absorption performance for all three cases have been simulated through the MATLAB software. Results show that the increase in both thickness and perforation size together increases the peak value of sound absorption coefficient (SAC). It also shifts the peak towards the higher frequency region and narrows the bandwidth. The findings of this study indicate the potential of thick MPPs as commercial sound absorbers by adjusting the size of perforations. Thicker and sturdier MPPs with optimal acoustic resistance and reactance can act as reliable sound absorbers for sound insulation purposes.

Panel Design

Various noise-absorbing materials and apparatus were developed not only for industry purposes but also for increased personal convenience through the absorption of unwanted sound. Absorbing products are typically passive mediums, whereas active-control absorption is expensive and complicated to install. Thus, in this study, a semi-active panel design for the sound absorber is developed to ensure operation at a required absorption level for a particular environment and to allow manual control. This study focused on producing an optimum design from several blueprints by using the simulation program, WinFlag. Simulation results are validated by using the impedance tube method. The samples used are perforated plates with open areas of 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, ​​and 15%. The second layer is a 35-mm thick coconut coir fiber as the main absorbing material. The third layer is air cavity. Simulation results indicate that the panel with perforation plates with 15% open areas gained the highest peak of sound absorption coefficient (0.851) at 5000 Hz. By using 30 mm thick air cavities, the highest peak is 0.963 at 3129 Hz. Experimental results indicate that the highest peak of sound absorption coefficient is 0.847 for the 15% open area of perforated plates, whereas the highest peak is 0.934 when 30 mm thick air cavities are used. The same pattern in the overall results denotes that the experiment result agrees with that of the simulation

The generalized regression neural network (GRNN) model of sound absorption coefficient of porous glass was built on data from 16 groups gained by experiments, where 12 groups were randomly selected as trained samples and the other 4 groups were as tested ones. This GRNN model which has two parameters, porosity and thickness as the inputs, was set the maximum iteration number 20, getting the optimal trained spread parameter σ=0.1. The results showed that the average error of this model was 0.003, and this model has high precision and the prediction curve of the sound absorption coefficient was very similar to the experiments. The advantages of this method are simple, needing less trained samples, rapid and accurate.

Abstract In this study, the sound absorption coefficient of three low density hardwoods – binuang, balsa and paulownia – were investigated. Their gas permeability and pore size were measured, and their pore shapes were classified into through pore, blind pored, and closed pore, as specified by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Among the three species, obvious that paulownia had lowest sound absorption when the two of others showed higher sound absorption. Although paulownia is a high porosity wood, most of its vessels are blocked by tyloses; it is therefore difficult for sound waves to enter its pores, which results in poor sound absorption performance. This study showed that the higher the through pore porosity, the higher was the gas permeability, which led to improvement of the sound absorption performance. It was also found that the sound absorption coefficient of the three species woods increased at low frequencies as the size of an air cavity between the specimens and tube’s wall increased.

Composite materials were prepared by the hot pressing method using poplar seed fibers and polycaprolactone (PCL) as the raw materials to solve the problems related to the recycling of waste fibers. The effects of mass fraction of poplar seed fibers, the volume density, and thickness on the sound absorption performance of the resulting composite materials were studied. The sound absorption coefficient curves of the composite material were obtained by the acoustic impedance transfer function method. The sound absorption coefficient of the composite material that was prepared under the optimal process conditions was higher than 0.7, and the effective sound absorption frequency band was wide. According to the box counting dimension method, which is based on the fractal theory, the fractal dimensions of the composite materials were calculated while using the Matlab program. The relationships between the fractal dimensions and the volume densities, mass fractions of poplar seed fibers, and thicknesses of the composite materials were also analyzed. Subsequently, the quantitative relationship between the fractal dimension and the sound absorption property parameters of the composite material was established in order to provide a theoretical basis for the design of the sound absorption composite material.

The improvement of sound absorption performance of porous metal is a focus of research in the field of noise reduction. Influences of compression ratios on sound absorption performance of a porous nickel–iron (Ni–Fe) alloy were investigated. The samples were compressed with ratios from 10% to 80% at an interval of 10%. Based on the standing wave method, sound absorption coefficients of compressed samples with different thicknesses were obtained. It could be found that with the same compression ratio, sound absorption performance was improved with the increase of thickness. Based on the modified Johnson–Allard model with a correction factor, the sound absorption coefficient of the porous Ni–Fe with a thickness of 20 mm for different compression ratios was derived, whose aim was to quantificationally analyze influences of the compression ratio. The results indicated that the sample with a compression ratio of 70% exhibited optimal sound absorption performance, and its average sound absorption coefficient reached 88.97% in a frequency range of 1000–6000 Hz. Meanwhile, the section morphologies of compressed samples were investigated by a scanning electron microscope, which studied the sound absorption performance by analyzing structures of the porous Ni–Fe samples with different compression ratios. The obtained achievements will promote the application of the porous Ni–Fe alloy in the field of acoustics.

Based on acoustic spiral metasurface, a spiral structural layer was designed to apply to timber construction interior wall. The sound absorption coefficient was measured by impedance tube method and compared with Helmholtz resonance structural layer, solid structural layer and air layer in traditional wall. The results show that the combination of the spiral structural layer and the wall can optimize the sound absorption performance of the wall in the medium and low frequency. Without reducing the overall sound-absorbing performance of the wall, can achieve perfect sound absorption in some medium and low frequency sound bands.
