Microwave and Acoustic Absorption Metamaterials [PDF]
Wave absorption metamaterials have been an enduring topic over the past two decades, propelled not only by novel scientific advances, but also by their extensive application potential. In this review, we aim to provide some general insights into the absorption mechanism common to both microwave and acoustic systems.

Sound absorption in Hilbert Fractal and Coiled Acoustic Metamaterials [PDF]
We describe here a class of acoustic metamaterials with fractal Hilbert space-filling and coiled geometry with equal tortuosity for noise mitigation. Experiments are performed using a four-microphone impedance tube and benchmarked against non-viscous and viscothermal Finite Element models related to configurations spanning up to five fractal/geometry ...

Optimal Absorption of Acoustic Waves by a Boundary [PDF]
In the aim to find the simplest and most efficient shape of a noise absorbing wall to dissipate the acoustical energy of a sound wave, we consider a frequency model described by the Helmholtz equation with a damping on the boundary. The well-posedness of the model is shown in a class of domains with d-set boundaries (N -- 1 $\le$ d < N).

Absorption characteristics of large acoustic metasurfaces
Metasurfaces formed of arrays of subwavelength resonators are often tuned to ‘critically couple’ with incident radiation, so that at resonance dissipative and radiative damping are balanced and absorption is maximized. Such design criteria are typically derived assuming an infinite metasurface, whereas the absorption characteristics of ...

An Archaeoacoustics Analysis of Cistercian Architecture: The Case of the Beaulieu Abbey
The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants.

Experimental Validation of the Model of Reverberation Time Prediction in a Room
It is well known that the uncertainty of input data has a great influence on the accuracy of room acoustics simulations. The aforementioned accuracy is significantly influenced by the selection of the acoustic properties of room-delimiting materials ...

An archaeoacoustic study on shape: the case study of the Iffland Theatre’s history (1802–1817)
Previous studies have discussed six pre-Sabine quantifiable guidelines employed in room acoustic design: voice directivity, audience rake, “echo theory”, stage acoustics, reverberation, and length, width, and height ratios.

Acoustic coherent perfect absorption based on a PT symmetric coupled Mie resonator system
Parity-time (PT) symmetric coupled resonator systems have exhibited intriguing and unexpected properties in optics and electronics. Here, we extend it to acoustics and report a coupled Mie resonators (MRs) system respecting PT symmetry.
