Comparison the Sound Absorption Rate of Mandarin Peel – Sawdust Composite Boards Measured by Transfer Function Method with by Reverberation Room Method

The aim of the paper is to study the effect of the surface shape and perforation of plastics on sound absorption. Samples with different asperity heights, depths and numbers of holes were prepared by means of CNC milling machine. Experimental measurements of frequency dependencies of the sound absorption coefficient were realized by the transfer function method using Kundt ́s impedance tube at normal incidence of acoustic wave on the investigated materials. The study was performed on two types of polyurethanes. Different factors, that have influence on sound absorption, are evaluated in the conclusion of this work. Both investigated materials are also compared in terms of their ability to absorb sound.

Transfer Function Method

Fabrication of an impedance tube for measuring sound absorption coefficient is presented in this paper. Transfer-function method is chosen for the sound absorption analysis. The impedance tube is designed and fabricated in accordance with ISO 10534-2. The tube is made from brass with diameter of 114.3 mm and length of 1.42 m. It is designed for the frequency range 60 Hz to 1800Hz. Three microphone positions are installed to achieve the frequency range with a single tube. The theoretical background of transfer-function method between two microphones is discussed. Initially, impedance tube is characterized by the measurement without testing material in the tube. Micro-perforated panel (MPP) with 50 mm and 100 mm of cavity depth are used for measurement. The sound absorption coefficient measurement of the MPP is compared with theory and good agreement is achieved. Various problems related to design and construction is addressed and the optimal configuration is presented.

Rubber Particles

We study the sound absorption coefficient of rubberized mortars in response to the incorporation of 7.5%, 15% and 30% of waste-tire rubbers in place of sand at a water-to-cement mass (w/c) ratio of 0.48. We consider two different morphologies of rubber particles, namely spheroid (S) and fiber-like (F) particles. Experimental characterization was performed after 7 days of curing. The mixtures were performed by density, water absorption, void index and sound absorption. We choose the transfer function method with one microphone successively in two locations in order to obtain the sound absorption coefficient using an impedance tube. Sound absorption coefficient results indicate a slightly enhancement for 7.5% S, 15% S, 30% S and 7.5% F mixtures from 1600 Hz to 2000 Hz. The best acoustic performance is observed for 30% S and 7.5% F mixtures from 850 Hz to 2000 Hz.
