An Inverse Method to Obtain Porosity, Fibre Diameter and Density of Fibrous Sound Absorbing Materials

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2013
Characterization of sound absorbing materials is essential to predict its acoustic behaviour. The most commonly used models to do so consider the flow resistiv- ity, porosity, and average fibre diameter as parameters to determine the acoustic ...
