  • A method for characterizing the frequency-dependent acoustic and elastic parameters of porous materials is proposed and validated in the paper, based on the Biot theory. The parameters include the characteristic impedance, propagation coefficient (also denoted as complex wave number), and longitudinal modulus. The first two are the macroscopic acoustic properties of pore fluid, while the last one is the elastic property of frame. A system related to the three parameters is constructed through the normal surface impedance of three samples with different thickness, based on the transfer matrix theory. With the measured surface impedance and appropriate initial values, an iterative procedure based on the Newton–Raphson method is used to solve the system. The three parameters are identified simultaneously, and then validated by two experimental methods, respectively, i.e., a modified two cavity method for the acoustic parameters and a quasi-static mechanical method for the elastic parameter. The parameters identified from the proposed method are consistent with the results of the two methods except for the imaginary part of the longitudinal modulus. It is shown that the proposed method would have a better performance if the discrepancy of frame displacements among different samples is moderate, corresponding to a reasonable selection of the thickness.

    • Current theories for predicting the sound insulation of orthotropic materials are limited to a small range of infinite panels. This paper presents a method that allows for the prediction of the sound insulation of a finite size orthotropic panel. This method uses an equation for the forced radiation impedance of a finite size rectangular panel. This approach produces an equation that has three nested integrals. The long numerical calculation times were reduced by using approximate formulas for the azimuthally averaged forced radiation impedance. This reduced the number of nested integrals from three to two. The resulting predictions are compared to results measured using two sample sizes of four different thicknesses of plywood and one sample size of another three different thicknesses of plywood. Plywood was used for all the tests because it is somewhat orthotropic. It was found during testing that the Young's moduli of the plywood were dependent on the frequency of excitation. The influence of the frequency dependent Young's moduli was then included in the prediction method. The experimental results were also compared with a simple isotropic prediction method.

    • The transmission of sound at normal incidence through perforated plates with bias flow is investigated experimentally and theoretically over a large parameter space. A specially designed experimental apparatus enabled the measurement of insertion loss with bias flowMach number up to 0.25. A theoretical model for insertion loss was constructed based on inviscid, one-dimensional wave propagation with mean flow through a single contraction/expansion chamber. The mass end correction of the contraction is modified for hole interaction effects and mean flow. Hydrodynamic losses are modeled using a vena contracta coefficient dependent on both perforation geometry and Reynolds number. Losses in acoustic energy that occur in the mixing region downstream of the perforations are modeled as fluctuations in entropy. The proposed model was validated experimentally over a range of plate thickness, porosity, and hole size. The experimental results indicate an increase in insertion loss with increasing frequency, followed by saturation and decline as resonant conditions are established in the perforations. The insertion loss at low frequency increases with increasing Mach number through the perforation. The proposed model captures these trends and its predictions are shown to be more accurate than those of past models.
