Partial microperforated panel and its acoustic siphon effect

Abstract

Partial microperforated panel (MPP) structures have been proposed for MPP with low sound absorption properties. Its purpose is to improve the sound absorption performance of the MPP in certain frequency bands. The structure was studied by the transfer matrix method, finite element simulation and experimental test. The results show that the three kinds of curves, that is, theoretical and simulation and experimental curves, are in good agreement. In the parallel structure of partial MPP and the cavity, the MPP structure occupying three-quarters of the total area makes perfect sound absorption at 1076 Hz. The sound absorption peak of the MPP structure which occupies half of the total area is 0.89 at 980 Hz. The theory of calculating the partial MPP, which is accurate for fast prediction of sound absorption peaks, is proposed. The sound absorption performance of the multi-partial MPP structure has also been theoretically verified. The acoustic siphon phenomenon of partial MPP is discussed. On this basis, a multi-Helmholtz resonance structure is designed to achieve high sound absorption effect. The sound absorption coefficient is greater than 0.87 at 488–712 Hz.
