Broadband low-frequency sound absorption in open tunnels with deep sub-wavelength Mie resonators
We report both experimentally and numerically that near-perfect absorption of low-frequency sound is realized in an open tunnel embedded with two deep sub-wavelength (0.085 λ) Mie resonators. The resonators are composed of a multiple-cavity structure and

The acoustical absorption by air-saturated aerogel powders
The acoustical behavior of air-saturated aerogel powders in the audible frequency range is not well understood. It is not clear, for example, which physical processes control the acoustic absorption and/or attenuation in a very light, loose granular mix in which the grain diameter is on the order of a micron.

We report the numerical and experimental realization of a type of ultrathin planar wall with low-frequency dual-band sound absorption. The proposed planar wall is constructed by a periodic subwavelength unit cell (with a thickness of λ/19) which consists

Bilayer ventilated labyrinthine metasurfaces with high sound absorption and tunable bandwidth
The recent advent of acoustic metamaterials offers unprecedented opportunities for sound controlling in various occasions, whereas it remains a challenge to attain broadband high sound absorption and free air flow simultaneously.

Effective acoustic absorption of ETFE membranes and cushions
In this paper, we report on measurements of the acoustic absorption coefficient of ETFE membranes and cushions by two types of measurement approaches. The experimental results are compared with material simulations in ODEON® room acoustics ver.17. The absorption was determined via the assumption that the energy which passes through the foil can be ...

Acoustic properties of green walls: Absorption and insulation [PDF]
In the past few decades, the issue of environmental quality in the urban environment is a recurring theme. Green walls and roofs have demonstrated great efficiency in the attenuation of adverse effects such as heat islands. The thermal characterization of these systems are well studied, however few studies have been carried out on their acoustic ...
