Abstract
In the present study, the sound transmission loss (STL) of ultrafine glass fiber felts in terms of areal density and sound frequency has been modeled by artificial neural network (ANN), the Law of Theoretic Mass and fitting polynomial, respectively. The STL of ultrafine glass fiber felts with the areal density ranging from 0 to 300 g/m2 and at the sound frequency ranging from 500 to 6300 Hz was employed as training data for ANN. By the optimization of ANN structure, the number of neurons in the two hidden layers was determined to 8 and 4 respectively. The mean squared error of the ANN model was only 0.191 and the correlation coefficient was 0.9989, which showed high accuracy for estimating the STL of the felts. Compared with other two models, the ANN model showed excellent agreement with the measured results and it's very appropriate for the estimation of acoustic properties of ultrafine glass fiber felts.
