Abstract
Impedance tubes are commonly used for non-destructive measurement method of the acoustic properties of materials. Most physical models neglect the elastic nature of the tube resulting in a single mode propagation up to the cut-off frequency and are thus unable to accurately predict the propagation patterns in the case of liquid-filled tubes. An understating of the dispersion pattern in the latter case is crucial for the success of the acoustic properties estimation procedure. Furthermore, a model-based control can be implemented on the basis of the dispersion relation which is able to enhance the existing methods. This work presents a case study of an air-filled impedance tube. A novel, two-actuators phase-perturbations technique was developed to identify the tube dispersion curves and to compare to analytical models. The accurate identification of dispersion curves was utilized in a successful effort to control a single mode traveling wave ratio by employing a feedforward control algorithm. The success of the case study in the case of a weak acoustic coupling mechanism such as the air-filled impedance tube emphasizes the capabilities when considering a stronger acoustic coupling such as in the liquid-filled impedance tube.
