Inhomogeneous absorption and geometric acoustics

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1998
The conventional formulation of geometric acoustics in the presence of inhomogeneous (spatially varying) absorption is examined. This formulation is found to fail under conditions of multipath propagation, because interference between ray paths is not taken into account when the absorptive losses are calculated.

On acoustic absorption in tissue.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
This work extends the relaxation theory of sound absorption to the case of continuous distribution of relaxation times. Such an extension is needed when the absorption mechanisms are not confined to viscosity and heat conduction, but are due mainly to the excitation of a large number of internal molecular degrees of freedom.

Subwavelength acoustic metamaterial with tunable acoustic absorption

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015
We present numerical simulations and experimental measurements for ultrasonic transmission through a subwavelength metamaterial consisting of an array of hollow cylinders embedded in a soft elastic matrix. The mechanical properties of the matrix, the lattice constant, and the size of the cylinders are optimized in order to maximize sound absorption in ...

Acoustical Absorption of Porous Pavement

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2008
Acoustical absorption coefficients of more than 140 pavement cores were obtained by the impedance tube method with two microphones and cross-spectral analyses. The effectiveness of the impedance tube in predicting noise reduction for different mixes was evaluated by comparing the correlations between onboard sound intensity levels and absorption ...

Scattering and Absorption by an Acoustic Strip

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1951
A method for treating the scattering and absorption of sound in the presence of non-uniform boundary conditions is applied to the case of an infinite strip of material (of given width) placed on an infinite, otherwise hard, wall. The strip is assumed to be characterized by a normal acoustic impedance that may possess a resistive component.

Acoustic Impedance and Sound Absorption

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1940
Theoretical curves for acoustic impedance vs. frequency, obtained by solving the equation for wave motion within the material, are compared with recently measured values of the impedance of various sound absorbing materials. The satisfactory agreement in most cases measured indicates that that for homogeneous materials the effective values of flow ...

Acoustic absorptivity of direct acoustic rate feedback control

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995
The fixed-gain feedback methods often provide the only means of limiting transient noise and excessive sound pressures due to unmeasurable, incoherent disturbances. The use of direct acoustic rate feedback (DARFB) to control an enclosure’s reverberant energy has the benefit over other feedback methods of larger stability margins and improved stability ...

Acoustics- The definitive study of acoustic absorption measurement [PDF]

open access: possible
The Team’s approach into the Definitive Study of Acoustic Absorption Measurement involved three methods; the Acoustic Impedance Tube, the Large Reverberation Room and the Small Reverberation Chamber. The particular interest and primary focus of this study is to obtain the sound absorption coefficient, α of the various acoustic materials that were ...
