Microperforated panel (MPP) absorbers have been developed rapidly and used in many fields in recent years. First, based on the Maa’s theory, the theoretical development of MPP is reviewed in this paper. Furthermore, structure design and processing technology of MPP are introduced. Finally, the further development of MPP is discussed. Based on the MPP theory and electro-acoustical equivalent circuit principle, sound absorption properties of three-leaf microperforated panel (TMPP) absorbers without a rigid backing are studied to broaden the sound absorption bandwidth of MPP structure. Simulation results show that TMPP absorbers without a rigid backing have two resonance peaks and the energy dissipated coefficient remains constant in the low frequency range. The resonance frequency moves toward low frequency region with the increasing of the distance, thickness and pore diameter of MPP and moves toward high frequency region with the increasing of the perforation when other parameters keep invariant. The energy dissipated coefficient more than 0.5 over 8 octaves by choosing proper parameters. In conclusion, TMPP absorbers without a rigid backing have good sound absorption properties in a wide frequency range.

Different Temperatures

AC and DC conductivities have been measured by using the real (e¢) and imaginary (e¢¢) parts of the dielectric constant data of glass and glass-ceramics (GC) at different temperatures in the rage 297-642K and in the frequency range 100 Hz to 10 MHz. Using Anderson –Stuart model, we have calculated the activation energy, which is observed to be lower than that of the DC conductivity. The analysis for glass/glass-ceramics indicates that the conductivity variation with frequency exhibits an initial linear region followed by nonlinear region with a maximum in the high-frequency region. The observed frequency dependence of ionic conductivity has been analyzed within the extended Anderson–Stuart model considering both the electrostatic and elastic strain terms. In glass/glassceramic the calculations based on the Anderson-Stuart model agree with the experimental observations in the low frequency region but at higher frequencies there is departure from measured data.

Membrane Resonance

The sound absorption ability of screen or perforated membrane is studied based on rigid frame porous models combined with thin membrane resonance sound absorbing theory in this paper. Results show that the sound absorption of screen or perforated membrane is better considering the role of membrane than using the rigid frame porous models when the mass density of screen or perforated membrane is smaller. The rigid frame porous model is very accuracy to model the sound absorption ability of screen or perforated membrane when the mass density of membrane is greater. The parameter studies present that the sound absorption peaks move toward low frequency region with the increasing of the depth of air-back cavity, mass density and thickness of screens or perforated membrane and moves toward high frequency region with the increasing of the perforation and perforated radius of screens or perforated membrane when other parameters keep invariant.

Abstract Poor acoustics is a common problem in many small closed rooms such as offices or dining rooms. Sound absorbing panels used as wall or ceiling coverings can be a remedy. In the present paper, the sound absorption properties of a composite made of two plywood skins bonded to an inner honeycomb core of plywood cells, designed by the authors in a previous study, were improved by drilling the surfaces. The holes communicate with the void cells of the core, activating the Helmholtz resonance effect. The acoustic behavior of small specimens and final-size samples are described, which were also tested in a reverberation chamber and in a real dining room. The developed lightweight composite plywood achieved αmax 0.90 values (maximal sound absorption coefficients) around 400 Hz, i.e. in the low frequency range, resulting in being well suited for various acoustic improvements.

The Core

Studies on recycled materials emerged during recent years. This paper investigates samples’ sound absorption properties for panels fabricated of a mixture of paper sludge (PS) and clay mixture. PS was the core material. The sound absorption was measured. We also consider the influence of an air gap between panels and rigid backing. Different air gaps (50, 100, 150, 200 mm) simulate existing acoustic panel systems. Finally, the PS and clay composite panel sound absorption coefficients are compared to those for a typical commercial absorptive ceiling panel. The average sound absorption coefficient of PS-clay composite panels (αavg. in the frequency range from 250 to 1600 Hz) was up to 0.55. The resulting average sound absorption coefficient of panels made of recycled (but unfinished) materials is even somewhat higher than for the finished commercial (finished) acoustic panel (αavg. = 0.51).

Abstract Efficient ultrasonic noise reduction by using enclosures requires the knowledge of absorbing properties of materials in the frequency range above 4 kHz. However, standardized methods enable determination of absorption coefficients of materials in the frequency range up to 4 kHz. For this reason, it is proposed to carry out measurements of the sound absorption properties of materials in the free field by means of a tone-burst technique in the frequency range from 4 kHz to 40 kHz at angles of incidence varying from 0° to 60°. The absorption coefficient of a material is calculated from the reflection coefficient obtained by reflecting a tone-burst from both a perfectly reflecting panel and a combination of this panel and the sample of the tested material. The tests results show that mineral wool and polyurethane open-cell foam possess very good absorbing properties in this frequency range.

Membrane Type

In order to broaden the sound absorption bandwidth of a perforated panel in the low frequency range, a lightweight membrane-type resonator is installed in the back cavity of the perforated panel to combine into a compound sound absorber (CSA). Because of the great flexibility, the membrane-type resonator can be vibrated easily by the incident sound waves passing through the holes of the perforated panel. In the low frequency range, the membrane-type resonator and the perforated panel constitute a two degrees-of-freedom (DOF)-resonant type sound absorption system, which generates two sound absorption peaks. By tuning the parameters of the membrane type resonator, a wide frequency band having a large sound absorption coefficient can be obtained. In this paper, the sound absorption coefficient of CSA is derived analytically by combining the vibration equation of the membrane-type resonator with the acoustic impedance equation of the perforated panel. The influences of the parameters of the membrane-type resonator on the sound absorption performance of the CSA are numerically analyzed. Finally, the wide band sound absorption capacity of the CSA is validated by the experimental test.

Thz Absorption

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is an effective coherent detection technique for deeply understanding the structures and functions of biomolecules. However, generally not full information in the whole THz range can be obtained due to the limited detection bandwidth (usually less than 5 THz) of the traditional THz-TDS systems. In this paper, effective THz absorption spectra in 0.5–10 THz range of five typical nucleobases of DNA/RNA are characterized with a super broadband THz detection technique, called the air-biased- coherent-detection (THz-ABCD) technique. Few unexpected characteristic absorption peaks appeared in the low-frequency region and meanwhile a series of anticipated characteristic absorption peaks are found in the high-frequency region. The fingerprint spectra of these nucleobases are helpful for further analysis on the vibration and twisting behavior of hydrogen bonds, van der Waals and electrostatic forces etc. between and within DNA/RNA biomolecules.

Polycrystalline ( Bi 0.94-x Dy x Na 0.94)0.5 Ba 0.06 TiO 3 ceramics (x = 0, 0.04, and 0.08, designated as BNBT6, BNBT6: 4Dy and BNBT6: 8Dy, respectively) were prepared by conventional high temperature sintering method. The X-ray diffraction patterns show pure perovskite structure with no secondary phases. Lattice parameters and unit cell volumes have decreased due to Dy2O3 substitution. SEM micrographs revealed denser samples (ρrel > 97%) with uniformly distributed grain sizes. The room temperature piezoelectric properties of Dy2O3 substituted sample at x = 0.04 were relatively higher: d33 = 147 pC/N, k p = 28% and Q m = 128. The samples exhibited infinitesimal change in thickness (≈ 15 nm) to an applied voltage of 100 V, which could be utilized in actuator applications. Relaxor behavior and broad dielectric maxima with diffuse phase transition were observed. The value of RT dielectric constant has increased while dielectric loss was decreased due to Dy2O3 substitution. Conductivity in the materials obeys Jonscher's universal power law. The conductivity in the low frequency region is associated with short range translational hopping while it is associated with the reorientational hopping in the high frequency region. The charge carrier concentration term remained constant over the entire temperature range of (30–500°C).

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.
