Acoustic Analysis with Consideration of Damping Effects of Air Viscosity in Sound Pathway
نویسنده
چکیده
Sound pathways in the enclosures of small earphones are very narrow. In such narrow pathways, the speed of sound propagation and the phase of sound waves change because of the air viscosity. We have developed a new finite element method that includes the effects of damping due to air viscosity for modeling the sound pathway. This method is developed as an extension of the existing finite element method for porous sound-absorbing materials. The numerical calculation results using the proposed finite element method are validated against the existing calculation methods. Keywords— Simulation, FEM, air viscosity, damping.

FEM Analysis of Occluded Ear Simulator with Narrow Slit Pathway
This paper discusses the propagation of sound waves in air, specifically in narrow rectangular pathways of an occluded-ear simulator for acoustic measurements. In narrow pathways, both the speed of sound and the phase of the sound waves are affected by the damping of the air viscosity. Herein, we propose a new finite-element method (FEM) that considers the effects of the air viscosity. The meth...
متن کاملAcoustic damping performance of aluminum nanocomposite foams with different additive of carbon nanotubes and comparison that with conventional rockwool (Research Article)
Open cell aluminum foams have good acoustic dampening properties. In this research, in order to improve the sound damping capacity of these foams, 0.9, 1.5 and 3wt% carbon nanotubes were added to the aluminum foam. Foams were produced by the space holder method in powder metallurgy. The results showed that Al-0.9wt%CNT nanocomposite foam had the highest average sound transmission loss in the fr...
متن کاملEffect of porosity on the characteristics of underwater acoustic sound absorbers using theoretical models
Porous materials have good acoustic damping characteristics over a wide frequency range. As for sound waves, many small-scale pores in the coating materials can convert underwater-coating to rough surfaces. The main property of porous absorbents is their resistance against incident sound wave that leads to damping effect. From a physical point of view, damping occurs due to friction between flu...
متن کاملطول میرایی امواج مغناطوآکوستیک آرام مشاهده شده در حلقههای تاج با استفاده ازتلسکوپ اس- دی- او
Slow magneto-acoustic waves are often observed in polar plumes and active region fan loops. The observed periodicities of these waves are in the range of 1- 40 minutes. Mainly, the ratio of damping time to the oscillation period is less than 2 (equal to the ratio damping length to the wave length), which corresponds to the strong damping regime. In general, slow magneto-acoustic waves can be da...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Damping Due to Air Viscosity in Narrow Acoustic Tubes
Headphones and earphones have many extremely small holes or narrow slits; they use sound-absorbing or porous material (i.e., dampers) to suppress vibratory system resonance. The air viscosity in these acoustic paths greatly affects the acoustic properties. Simulation analyses such as the finite element method (FEM) therefore require knowledge of the material properties of sound-absorbing or por...
