Abstract
The sound absorbing metasurface efficient in the audible frequency range is proposed. The metasurface has a cellular structure, each cell having a hexagonal shape with a hollow tunnel inside. The wall of the hexagonal cell is sub-divided into six hollow chambers connected to the central tunnel via the six thinner channels of different diameters. The hollow chambers act as Helmholtz resonators providing six different resonant frequencies for each cell. The negative effective bulk modulus property of the metasurface allows full adsorption at the resonant frequencies. By carefully designing the size of the connecting channels we can manipulate the desired sound adsorption frequency range. The thickness of the metasurface is in the range of 0.03–0.1 wavelengths for the sound frequency range between 300 and 1000 Hz. Six absorption peaks are achieved for each unit cell providing broader range of absorption. The hexagonal shape of the unit cell allows full utilization of the metasurface volume by a standard honeycomb tessellation of the cells. By designing a metasurface containing individual cells with different inner channel diameters, the absorption peaks can be multiplied or overlapped and further broaden the frequency range with the absorption coefficient higher than the desired value.
