A direct and inverse method is proposed for measuring the thickness and flow resistivity of a rigid air-saturated porous material using acoustic reflected waves at low frequency. The equivalent fluid model is considered. The interactions between the structure and the fluid are taken by the dynamic tortuosity of the medium introduced by Johnson et al. and the dynamic compressibility of the air introduced by Allard. A simplified expression of the reflection coefficient is obtained at very low frequencies domain (Darcy’s regime). This expression depends only on the thickness and flow resistivity of the porous medium. The simulated reflected signal of the direct problem is obtained by the product of the experimental incident signal and the theoretical reflection coefficient. The inverse problem is solved numerically by minimizing between simulated and experimental reflected signals. The tests are carried out using two samples of polyurethane plastic foam with different thicknesses and resistivity. The inverted values of thickness and flow resistivity are compared with those obtained by conventional methods giving good results.

In this paper, an acoustic method is presented for measuring the porosity and the viscous tortuosity of air-saturated-porous materials at low frequencies. The proposed method is based on a temporal model of the direct and inverse problem for the reflection of low-frequency waves by homogeneous isotropic slab of porous material having a rigid frame. Reflected coefficient for a slab of porous material is derived from the responses of the medium to an incident acoustic pulse where a simple relation between flow resistivity, porosity, viscous tortuosity and the reflected waves is obtained. A numerical method and efficient tool for the estimation of the porosity and the viscous tortuosity are presented and discussed.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the modelling of rigid-frame porous materials. Currently there are very simple models which describe the acoustic behaviour of such materials, and there are also very complicated models. The aim of this paper is to present a model which occupies the “middle ground”, but is simple enough to be used by practising noise control engineers. Using concepts of acoustic mass, stiffness and damping, non-dimensional expressions for the acoustic wavenumber and the characteristic impedance of a rigid-frame porous material are derived. These expressions are used to give a “rule of thumb” for the optimum flow resistivity for a given thickness of material.

Flow resistivity is one of the most important parameters used to describe the acoustic behavior of fibrous materials, as porosity is highly used in industrial context, this paper summarizes the simulation of finding the flow resistivity using computational fluid dynamics and minimizing the error between calculated and measured resistivity.The estimation is made by taking Polyurethane Foam as sample fibrous material and varying porosity from 0.70 up to 0.98. The CFD tool analyzes and computes different pressure value respectively. Flow resistivity is further verified using experimental execution in which flow resistivity is measured from pressure measurement on a sample of porous material
