Low-Frequency, Open, Sound-Insulation Barrier by Two Oppositely Oriented Helmholtz Resonators
In this work, a low-frequency, open, sound-insulation barrier, composed of a single layer of periodic subwavelength units (with a thickness of λ/28), is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally. Each unit was constructed using two identical, oppositely oriented Helmholtz resonators, which we...

description | In this work, a low-frequency, open, sound-insulation barrier, composed of a single layer of periodic subwavelength units (with a thickness of λ/28), is demonstrated both numerically and experimentally. Each unit was constructed using two identical, oppositely oriented Helmholtz resonators, which were composed of a central square cavity surrounded by a coiled channel. In the design of the open barrier, the distance between two adjacent units was twice the width of the unit, showing high-performance ventilation, and low-frequency sound insulation. A minimum transmittance of 0.06 could be observed around 121.5 Hz, which arose from both sound reflections and absorptions, created by the coupling of symmetric and asymmetric eigenmodes of the unit, and the absorbed sound energy propagating into the central cavity was greatly reduced by the viscous loss in the channel. Additionally, by introducing a multilayer open barrier, a broadband sound insulation was obtained, and the fractional bandwidth could reach approximately 0.19 with four layers. Finally, the application of the multilayer open barrier in designing a ventilated room was further discussed, and the results presented an omnidirectional, broadband, sound-insulation effect. The proposed open, sound-insulation barrier with the advantages of ultrathin thickness; omnidirectional, low-frequency sound insulation; broad bandwidth; and high-performance ventilation has great potential in architectural acoustics and noise control. |
