Abstract

Acoustic protection is an important aspect in various industrial, commercial and residential applications. In order to reduce the transmission of noise, perforated panels are frequently used as a barrier. The present study aims to conduct a numerical analysis of plastic perforated panels for acoustic protection. The study employed a finite element method (FEM) approach and focused on the propagation of acoustic waves through perforations of varying diameters (30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm and 90 mm) and at different frequencies (250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 1500 Hz). The numerical analysis was conducted using the finite element software ANSYS. This work offers numerical analysis models of acoustic wave propagation, which can be used by those interested in similar problems, for different environments, in closed or open spaces. The results showed that the perforation diameter and frequency play a crucial role in the performance of the plastic perforated panels as an acoustic barrier. The results of the author�s research pointed out that the plastic materials can be used successfully in the construction of acoustic barriers. Next to it, the findings of this study can provide valuable insights for engineers and designers in the selection and optimization of plastic perforated panels for acoustic protection applications.
