Abstract
This paper presents the diffraction of acoustic plane wave through a semi-infinite soft duct. The soft plates are enclosed symmetrically inside an infinite duct with hard boundary conditions. We fully emphasize the analysis of the behavior of the reflected field amplitude for the pentafurcated duct by applying the straightforward mode-matching technique. We also depict some graphical representations by determining the reflected field amplitude for various dimensions of the pentafurcated duct. We also present comparisons of results with the existing results of a hard pentafurcated duct problem. This research work will assist the future researchers in reducing noise effects in complicated devices and exhaust systems.
Highlights
In the th century, excessive amount of noise and unpleasant sounds became a part of the urban culture that caused temporary disturbance in the natural balance
In the past thirty years, unwanted noises have become a major threat to physical and mental health of people, especially for those residing in urban areas
That is the reason why it has become a topic of great interest to study the diffraction of sound wave in various structures with different combinations of the boundary conditions
Summary
In the th century, excessive amount of noise and unpleasant sounds became a part of the urban culture that caused temporary disturbance in the natural balance. Hassan et al [ ] solved a complicated hard pentafurcated duct problem by applying the powerful mode-matching technique. The related work on a soft-hard pentafurcated waveguide problem has been tackled by Hassan et al [ ] using the straightforward mode-matching technique.
