Abstract
This paper presents the effect of cross-sectional morphologies and composite structures of glass fiber felts on their corresponding acoustic properties. Glass fiber felts with random and layered cross-sectional structure are produced by centrifugal-spinneret-blow system. Acoustic properties are determined by a B&K impedance tube. The results show that sound transmission loss (STL) of glass fiber felts with layered cross-sectional structure exhibit greater than that with random cross-sectional structure. However, there is a little difference between the absorption coefficient values for random and layered cross-section. It means that glass fiber felts with layered cross-section are better to improve the sound insulation. With the increase of thickness, STLs of glass fiber felts with the same areal density do not increase monotonically due to the changing of porosity and characteristic impedances. Different glass fiber felts with layered cross-sectional structure are combined to form a variety of composite structures. It finds that assembly order of glass fiber felts have an effect on the total sound insulation. The large mismatch between the acoustic impedances causes multiple reflections leading to the best STL.
