RESUMO

To reduce electromagnetic interference and noise pollution within communication base stations and servers, it is necessary for electromagnetic wave absorption (EWA) materials to transition from coating to multifunctional devices. Up to now, the stable and effective integration of multiple functions into one material by a simple method has remained a large challenge. Herein, a foam-type microwave absorption device assembled with multicomponent organic matter and graphite powder is synthesized by a universal combination process. Melamine and phenolic aldehyde amine work as the skeleton and cementing compound, respectively, in which graphite is embedded in the cementing compound interconnected into the mesoscopic 3D electric conductive and heat conductive network. Interestingly, the prepared flexible graphite/melamine foam (CMF) delivers a great EWA performance, with a great effective absorption bandwidth of 9.8 GHz, ultrathin thickness of 2.60 mm, and a strong absorption reflection loss of -41.7 dB. Moreover, the CMF possesses porosity and flexibility, endowing it with sound absorption ability. The CMF is unique in its integration of EWA, heat conduction, sound absorption, and mechanical robustness, as well as its cost-effective and scalable manufacturing. These attributes make CMF promising as a multifunctional device widely used in communication base stations, servers, and chips protection.

RESUMO

Incorporating acoustic and mechanical properties into a single multifunctional structure has attracted considerable attention in engineering. However, effectively integrating these sound absorption properties and damage resistance to achieve multifunctional structural designs remains a great challenge due to imperfect design methods. In this study, the inherent mechanical properties of turtle shells by introducing dissipative pores are leveraged to present a lattice structure that possesses both excellent sound-absorg and high damage-resistant characteristics. To achieve acoustic optimization design, a universal high-fidelity neural network correction model is proposed to address the impedance calculation challenge in complex structures. Building upon this foundation, a multi-cell combination design enables to achieve high absorption through optimization with a low thickness of 50 mm, resulting in average sound absorption coefficients reaching 0.88 and 0.93 within the frequency ranges of 300-600 Hz and 500-1000 Hz, respectively. It is also found that the optimized structures exhibit exceptional damage resistance under varying relative densities via the coupling effect of the shell thickness on the acoustic and mechanical properties. Overall, this work introduces a novel paradigm for designing intricate multifunctional structures with acoustic and mechanical properties while providing valuable inspiration for future research on multifunctional structure design.

RESUMO

Various acoustic materials are developed to resolve noise pollution problem in many industries. Especially, materials with porous structure are broadly used to absorb sound energy in civil construction and transportation area. Polyurethane (PU) porous materials possess excellent damping properties, good toughness, and well-developed pore structures, which have a broad application prospect in sound absorption field. This work aims to summarize the recent progress of fabrication and structure for PU porous materials in sound absorption application. The sound absorption mechanisms of porous materials are introduced. Different kinds of structure for typical PU porous materials in sound absorption application are covered and highlighted, which include PU foam, modified PU porous materials, aerogel, templated PU, and special PU porous materials. Finally, the development direction and existing problems of PU material in sound absorption application are briefly prospected. It can be expected that porous PU with high sound absorption coefficient can be obtained by using some facile methods. The design and accurate regulation of porous structures or construction of multilayer sound absorption structure is favorably recommended to fulfill the high demand of industrial and commercial applications in the future work.

RESUMO

Traffic noise has been regarded as one of the most annoying pollutions that induce severe hazards to human health, both physiological and psychological. The commonly used fibrous noise absorption materials are limited by their large density, poor sound absorption ability at low frequencies, and unsatisfactory fire-resistant ability. Here, we develop hierarchically structured elastic ceramic electrospun nanofibrous aerogels, which possess lightweight properties (density of 13.29 mg cm-3) and superior low-frequency sound absorption ability (NRC value of 0.59). Specifically, the obtained ceramic electrospun nanofibrous aerogel is nonflammable on exposure to fire and can be compressed and quickly recover to its original height without any visible damage. Moreover, the resultant aerogels could be facilely and efficiently manufactured into designed shapes on a large scale, demonstrating their potential for industrialization. The successful design of such ceramic-based bulk materials may provide new insights for the further development of the next-generation high-efficiency sound-absorbing products.

RESUMO

Objective: To explore the sound insulation, sound absorption and other noise reduction transformation methods in a noise workshop handover control room. Methods: In December 2021, through the occupational health investigation and on-site testing of the handover control room of a noise workshop, the causes of excessive noise were analyzed, and the transformation design scheme to reduce noise was proposed and the effect was analyzed. Results: Before the transformation, the peak frequency band noise intensity of the noise workshop handover control room was 112.8 dB (A), and the peak frequency was 1000 Hz. After noise reduction, the theoretical calculated control value was 61.0 dB (A), and the measured noise intensity was 59.8 dB (A) . Conclusion: The noise intensity of the handover control room is reduced after noise reduction, which is in line with the contact limit requirements of the control room in GBZ 1-2010 "Hygienic Standards for the Design of Industrial Enterprises", and has reference significance for noise control engineering.

RESUMO

Being a lightweight material with high design freedoms, there are increasing research interests in microlattice metamaterials as sound absorbers. However, thus far, microlattices are limited to one sound dissipation mechanism, and this inhibits their broadband absorption capabilities. Herein, as opposed to improving performances via the addition of features, a dissipation mechanism is subtractively introduced by hollowing out the struts of the microlattice. Then, a class of hollow-truss metamaterial (HTM) that is capable of harnessing dual concurrent dissipation mechanisms from its complex truss interconnectivity and its hollow interior is presented. Experimental sound absorption measurements reveal superior and/or customizable absorption properties in the HTMs as compared to their constitutive solid-trusses. An optimal HTM displays a high average broadband coefficient of 0.72 at a low thickness of 24 mm. Numerically derived, a dissipation theorem based on the superimposed acoustic impedance of the critically coupled resistance and reactance of the outer-solid and inner-hollow phases, across different frequency bands, is proposed in the HTM. Complementary mechanical property studies also reveal improved compressive toughness in the HTMs. This work demonstrates the potential of hollow-trusses, where they gain the dissipation mechanism through the subtraction of the material and display excellent acoustic properties.

RESUMO

Underwater noise pollution, mainly emitted by shipping and ocean infrastructure development of human activities, has produced severe environmental impacts on marine species and seabed habitats. In recent years, a polyurethane-based (PU-based) composite with excellent damping performance has been increasingly utilized as underwater sound absorption material by attaching it to equipment surfaces. As one of the key parameters of damping materials, dynamic mechanical parameters are of vital importance to evaluating the viscoelastic damping property and thus influencing the sound absorption performance. Nevertheless, lots of researchers have not checked thoroughly the relationship and the mechanism of the material dynamic mechanical parameters and its sound absorption performance. In this work, a finite element model was fabricated and verified effectively using acoustic pulse tube tests to investigate the aforementioned issues. The influence of the dynamic mechanical parameters on underwater sound absorption performance was systematically studied with the frequency domain to reveal the mechanism and the relationship between damping properties and the sound absorption of the PU-based composite. The results indicate that the internal friction of the molecular segments and the structure stiffness were the two main contributors of the PU-based composite's consumption of sound energy, and the sound absorption peak and the sound absorption coefficient could be clearly changed by adjusting the dynamic mechanical parameters of the composite. This study will provide helpful guidance to develop the fabrication and engineering applications of the PU-based composite with outstanding underwater sound absorption performance.

RESUMO

The advent of 3D printing brought about the possibilities of microlattice metamaterials as advanced materials with the potentials to surpass the functionalities of traditional materials. Sound absorbing materials which are also tough and lightweight are of particular importance as practical engineering materials. There are however a lack of attempts on the study of metamaterials multifunctional for both purposes. Herein, we present four types of face-centered cubic based plate and truss microlattices as novel metamaterials with simultaneous excellent sound and mechanical energy absorption performance. High sound absorption coefficients nearing 1 and high specific energy absorption of 50.3 J g-1 have been measured. Sound absorption mechanisms of microlattices are proposed to be based on a "cascading resonant cells theory", an extension of the Helmholtz resonance principle that we have conceptualized herein. Characteristics of absorption coefficients are found to be essentially geometry limited by the pore and cavity morphologies. The excellent mechanical properties in turn derive from both the approximate membrane stress state of the plate architecture and the excellent ductility and strength of the base material. Overall, this work presents a new concept on the specific structural design and materials selection for architectured metamaterials with dual sound and mechanical energy absorption capabilities.

RESUMO

The increase in coffee consumption has led to increased production of coffee waste. Methods to recycle coffee waste are constantly being researched. Coffee powder is a porous material that can effectively be used to absorb sound. In this study, sound-absorbing panels were developed using coffee waste combined with resin. A sound absorption characterization of the new material was performed. Then, the noise reduction potential using coffee-waste sound absorbers was investigated in cafés. A café has several noise sources, such as coffee machines, music, and the voices of people. The noise reduction effect was evaluated using the ODEON simulation software together with the improvement in both the clarity and reverberation time in a case study café. In the investigated room, the acoustic definition (D50) increased up to 0.8, while the reverberation time (RT) reduced to 0.6 s. The results of this study demonstrate that the noise generated in the café was reduced by recycling the coffee waste produced as a by-product in the same building. Finally, this study presents a new construction material manufactured through coffee waste that is in turn applied to cafés where the coffee waste itself is produced.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Noise in open plan offices should not exceed acceptable levels for the hearing protection. Its major negative effects on employees are nuisance and impediment in execution of work. Specific technical solutions should be introduced to provide proper acoustic conditions for work performance. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Acoustic evaluation of a typical open plan office was presented in the article published in "Medycyna Pracy" 5/2016. None of the rooms meets all the criteria, therefore, in this article one of the rooms was chosen to apply different technical solutions to check the possibility of reaching proper acoustic conditions. Acoustic effectiveness of those solutions was verified by means of digital simulation. The model was checked by comparing the results of measurements and calculations before using simulation. RESULTS: The analyzis revealed that open plan offices supplemented with signals for masking speech signals can meet all the required criteria. It is relatively easy to reach proper reverberation time (i.e., sound absorption). It is more difficult to reach proper values of evaluation parameters determined from A-weighted sound pressure level (SPLA) of speech. The most difficult is to provide proper values of evaluation parameters determined from speech transmission index (STI). Finally, it is necessary (besides acoustic treatment) to use devices for speech masking. The study proved that it is technically possible to reach proper acoustic condition. CONCLUSIONS: Main causes of employees complaints in open plan office are inadequate acoustic work conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to apply specific technical solutions - not only sound absorbing suspended ceiling and high acoustic barriers, but also devices for speech masking.

RESUMO

The Lattice Boltzmann method was used to perform numerical simulations of the sound and turbulent flow inside a standing wave tube terminated by a circular orifice in presence of a forced mean flow. The computational domain comprised a standard virtual impedance tube apparatus in which sound waves were produced by periodic pressure oscillations imposed at one end. An orifice plate was located between the driver and the tube termination. All waves transmitted through the orifice were effectively dissipated by a passively non-reflecting (i.e. anechoic) boundary at the tube termination. A turbulent jet was formed at the discharge of the orifice by the forced mean flow inside the tube. The acoustic impedance and sound absorption coefficient of the orifice plate were calculated from a wave decomposition of the sound field upstream of the orifice. Simulations were carried out for different excitation frequencies, and orifice Mach numbers. Results and trends were in good quantitative agreement with available analytical solutions and experimental data. The Lattice Boltzmann method was found to be an efficient numerical scheme for prediction of sound absorption by realistic three dimensional orifice configurations.

It contains down fiber adjacent to each other without firm connection in between, forming a structure of elastic fiber network. The unique structure has broadband response to sound wave, showing non-synchronous vibration in low and middle frequency and synchronous vibration in middle and high frequency. The broadband resonance in middle and high frequency allows the structure to achieve complete sound absorption in resonance frequency band. Moreover, down-polyethylene film material possesses forced vibration, corresponding sound absorption coefficient has been obtained based on vibration theory. The down-film sound absorption material has the characteristics of light weight, soft, environment-friendly, and has excellent broadband sound absorption performance.

RESUMO

In this report, naturally available materials have been utilized in the development of acoustic absorbers. This work presents the study of the effect of oil palm trunks dust (OPTD) loading to the mechanical and acoustical properties of elastomeric thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Four composite sheets of 3-mm thickness were prepared by varying the OPTD loadings with 10-40% wt into the polyurethane. Density, modulus elasticity, sound absorption coefficient and sound transmission loss of the samples were measured according to corresponding standards. The OPTD is found to reduce the density of the elastomeric polyurethane and at the same time, it increases the Young's modulus up to 215 MPa. The composite material can be applied as sound absorber panel installed in front of a rigid wall with an air gap. Increasing the air gap, thus lowering the air stiffness, shifts the absorption peak to a lower frequency. With OPTD loadings, the formation of micro-pores in the inner structure helps to improve the peak of sound absorption of the panel at the resonant frequency which can reach above 0.9. As the OPTD loading has effect on density, the effect on the sound transmission loss at the mass-controlled region is also apparent.

RESUMO

In the present study, the sound absorption performance of inhomogeneous Micro-Perforated Panels (MPPs) with multiple cavities is investigated. Two models, a three-cavity system and a four-cavity system, are proposed and a numerical study is performed using MATLAB. The models are validated through experimental analysis in an impedance tube. The study meticulously varies the geometrical parameters, including pore diameter, thickness of the MPP, perforation ratio, and back-cavity length. It is found that MPPs with a greater number of sub-cavities have a better sound absorption coefficient than two-cavity systems. The results suggest that the back air cavity is predominantly responsible for multiple peaks, ensuring wideband sound absorption. It is also found that smaller perforation ratios for sub-cavities with larger pore diameters improve sound absorption performance in the lower frequency region. The study indicates that a pore diameter of less than 0.5 mm should be used for better sound absorption above the range of 800-850 Hz, and back cavity length has greater control than pore diameter between 850 Hz and 2000 Hz to make the curve smooth with less fluctuation. The findings have significant implications for the design of MPPs for real-world applications.

RESUMO

The reduction of noises, achieved through absorption, is of paramount importance to the well-being of both humans and machines. Lattice structures, defined as architectured porous solids arranged in repeating patterns, are emerging as advanced sound-absorbing materials. Their immense design freedom allows for customizable pore morphology and interconnectivity, enabling the design of specific absorption properties. Thus far, the sound absorption performance of various types of lattice structures are studied and they demonstrated favorable properties compared to conventional materials. Herein, this review gives a thorough overview on the current research status, and characterizations for lattice structures in terms of acoustics is proposed. Till date, there are four main sound absorption mechanisms associated with lattice structures. Despite their complexity, lattice structures can be accurately modelled using acoustical impedance models that focus on critical acoustical geometries. Four defining features: morphology, relative density, cell size, and number of cells, have significant influences on the acoustical geometries and hence sound wave dissipation within the lattice. Drawing upon their structural-property relationships, a classification of lattice structures into three distinct types in terms of acoustics is proposed. It is proposed that future attentions can be placed on new design concepts, advanced materials selections, and multifunctionalities.

RESUMO

Porous materials with sound absorption and load-bearing capabilities are in demand in engineering fields like aviation and rail transportation. However, achieving both properties simultaneously is challenging due to the trade-off between interconnected pores for sound absorption and mechanical strength. Inspired by quilling art, a novel design using spiral material formed by rolling planar materials into helical structures is proposed. Experimental results show high structural strength through self-locking mechanisms, while double porosities from interlayer spiral slits and aligned submillimeter pores provide excellent sound absorption. These spiral sheets surpass foam aluminum in specific strength (up to 5.1 MPa) and approach aerogels in sound absorption (average coefficient of 0.93 within 0-6400 Hz). With its adaptability to various planar materials, this spiral design allows for hybrid combinations of different materials for multi-functionality, paving the way for designing advanced, lightweight porous materials for broad applications.

RESUMO

This study investigates lightweight and efficient candidates for sound absorption to address the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials in noise attenuation. Juncus effusus (JE) is a natural fiber known for its unique three-dimensional network, providing a viable and sustainable filler for enhanced sound absorption in honeycomb panels. Microperforated-panel (MPP) honeycomb absorbers incorporating JE fillers were fabricated and designed, focusing on optimizing the absorber designs by varying JE filler densities, geometrical arrangements, and MPP parameters. At optimal filling densities, the MPP-type honeycomb structures filled with JE fibers achieved high noise reduction coefficients (NRC) of 0.5 and 0.7 at 20 mm and 50 mm thicknesses, respectively. Using an analytical model and an artificial neural network (ANN) model, the sound absorption characteristics of these absorbers were successfully predicted. This study demonstrates the potential of JE fibers in improving noise mitigation strategies across different industries, offering more sustainable and efficient solutions for construction and transportation.

RESUMO

The application of Scirpus grossus (SG) fiber as a sound absorber is important to reduce the level of noise affected the physical and mental wellbeing of people. The sound absorption coefficient (SAC) and noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of the SG specimen were evaluated based on a typical model-based design using the data analysis with MATLAB. The results showed that SG specimen with a thickness of 20 mm coated with the perforated aluminum sheet (PAS) compared to that without coating can improve the capability of sound absorption by 14% at the frequency of 4000 Hz. SG specimen coated with PAS that has a NRC value of 0.39 can absorb 39% of sound and thus reflects 61% of sound wave while SG specimen without coating that has a NRC value of 0.23 absorbs 23% of sound and can reflect 77% of sound wave. The sound absorption class of D for SG specimen coated with PAS should be better that of E for SG specimen without coating, which permits us to get better understanding on the applications of SG fiber as a sound adsorber in the future.

RESUMO

This paper reports an environment-friendly biobased foam made with cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and a biobased hyperbranched crosslinker, glycerol succinic anhydride (GSA). As a biobased hyperbranched crosslinker, carboxyl-terminated GSA is synthesized through a straightforward esterification process involving glycerol and succinic anhydride. The GSA-crosslinked CNF (GSA/CNF) foam is prepared using a facile, sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient solvent-exchange method. The resulting foam exhibits notable characteristics, including improved dimensional stability, remarkably low density (13.41 mg/cm3) with high porosity (>99 %), and exceptional compressive strength (494 kPa) and modulus (452 kPa). Further, the foam offers outstanding sound absorption capabilities with a coefficient of 0.986 at 2 kHz and remarkably low thermal conductivity (30.18 mW/mK), significantly lower than commonly used and reported porous materials, indicating its potential as an efficient, environmentally friendly sound absorption and thermal insulation material.

RESUMO

New composites made of natural fiber polymers such as wasted date palm surface fiber (DPSF) and pineapple leaf fibers (PALFs) are developed in an attempt to lower the environmental impact worldwide and, at the same time, produce eco-friendly insulation materials. Composite samples of different compositions are obtained using wood adhesive as a binder. Seven samples are prepared: two for the loose natural polymers of PALF and DPSF, two for the composites bound by single materials of PALF and DPSF using wood adhesive as a binder, and three composites of both materials and the binder with different compositions. Sound absorption coefficients (SACs) are obtained for bound and hybrid composite samples for a wide range of frequencies. Flexural moment tests are determined for these composites. A thermogravimetric analysis test (TGA) and the moisture content are obtained for the natural polymers and composites. The results show that the average range of thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.042-0.06 W/(m K), 0.052-0.075 W/(m K), and 0.054-0.07 W/(m K) for the loose fiber polymers, bound composites, and hybrid composites, respectively. The bound composites of DPSF have a very good sound absorption coefficient (>0.5) for almost all frequencies greater than 300 Hz, followed by the hybrid composite ones for frequencies greater than 1000 Hz (SAC > 0.5). The loose fiber polymers of PALF are thermally stable up to 218 °C. Most bound and hybrid composites have a good flexure modulus (6.47-64.16 MPa) and flexure stress (0.43-1.67 Mpa). The loose fiber polymers and bound and hybrid composites have a low moisture content below 4%. These characteristics of the newly developed sustainable and biodegradable fiber polymers and their composites are considered promising thermal insulation and sound absorption materials in replacing synthetic and petrochemical insulation materials in buildings and other engineering applications.
