Measurements of Acoustic Properties of Porous and Granular Materials and Application to Vibration Control

چکیده
For application of porous and granular materials to vibro-acoustic controls, a finite dynamic strength of the solid component (frame) is an important design factor. The primary goal of this study was to investigate structural vibration damping through this frame wave propagation for various poroelastic materials. A measurement method to investigate the vibration characteristics of the frame was proposed. The measured properties were found to follow closely the characteristics of the viscoelastic materials the dynamic modulus increased with frequency and the degree of the frequency dependence was determined by its loss factor. The dynamic stiffness of hollow cylindrical beams containing porous and granular materials as damping treatment was measured also. The data were used to extract the damping materials’ characteristics using the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The results suggested that the acousticstructure interaction between the frame and the structure enhances the dissipation of the vibration energy significantly.

Characterisation of porous materials viscoelastic properties involving the vibroacoustical behaviour of coated panels
Porous materials are widely used for noise control. Often attached to a structure subjected to vibration, the porous layer contributes to diminish vibration by increasing structural damping and also reduce noise level in cavities by sound absorption. For optimal design, it is often necessary to know the viscoelastic properties of these materials in the frequency range relevant to their applicat...

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...
