چکیده
Sonic crystal acoustic screens have been in progressive research and development the last two decades as a technical solution for mitigating traffic noise. Their behaviour is quite different from that observed classical barriers, with latter being based on physically blocking direct sound propagation path (only allowing diffracted noise to reach sensible receivers), sonic crystals providing attenuation efficiency creation of “band-gaps” at specific frequency ranges, due Bragg’s interference phenomenon. The distinct physical mechanisms these types barriers complicates use simplified or even numerical models developed traditional simulate predict performance crystal, alternative methods become thus required. In acoustics scientific literature, several authors proposed estimation simulation tools insulation provided by new abatement solutions. This paper presents comparative evaluation some methods, emphasis assessment their accuracy versus memory usage order determine which one most suitable optimization methodologies design devices improved performance.

Membrane-type acoustic metamaterials are well known for low-frequency sound insulation. In this work, by introducing a flexible piezoelectric patch, we propose sound-insulation metamaterials with the ability of energy harvesting from sound waves. The dual functionality of the metamaterial device has been verified by experimental results, which show an over 20 dB sound transmission loss and a ma...
متن کاملTunable unidirectional sound propagation through a sonic-crystal-based acoustic diode.
Nonreciprocal wave propagation typically requires strong nonlinear materials to break time reversal symmetry. Here, we utilized a sonic-crystal-based acoustic diode that had broken spatial inversion symmetry and experimentally realized sound unidirectional transmission in this acoustic diode. These novel phenomena are attributed to different mode transitions as well as their associated differen...
متن کاملSustainable sonic crystal made of resonating bamboo rods.
The acoustic transmission coefficient of a resonant sonic crystal made of hollow bamboo rods is studied experimentally and theoretically. The plane wave expansion and multiple scattering theory (MST) are used to predict the bandgap in transmission coefficient of a non-resonant sonic crystal composed of rods without holes. The predicted results are validated against experimental data for the aco...
