Noise has a negative impact on our environment and human health. For this reason, it is necessary to eliminate excessive noise levels. This paper is focused on the study of the sound absorption properties of materials with open-porous structures, which were made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) material using additive technology. Four types of structures (Cartesian, Octagonal, Rhomboid, and Starlit) were evaluated in this work, and every structure was prepared in three different volume ratios of the porosity and three different thicknesses. The sound absorption properties of the investigated ABS specimens were examined utilizing the normal incidence sound absorption and noise reduction coefficients, which were experimentally determined by the transfer function method using a two-microphone acoustic impedance tube. This work deals with various factors that influence the sound absorption performance of four different types of investigated ABS material’s structures. It was found, in this study, that the sound absorption performance of the investigated ABS specimens is strongly affected by different factors, specifically by the structure geometry, material volume ratio, excitation frequency of an acoustic wave, material’s thickness, and air space size behind the tested sound-absorbing materials.

Noise pollution is a negative factor that affects our environment. It is, therefore, necessary to take appropriate measures to minimize it. This article deals with the sound absorption properties of open-porous Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) material structures that were produced using 3D printing technology. The material’s ability to damp sound was evaluated based on the normal incidence sound absorption coefficient and the noise reduction coefficient, which were experimentally measured by the transfer function method using an acoustic impedance tube. The different factors that affect the sound absorption behavior of the studied ABS specimens are presented in this work. In this study, it was discovered that the sound absorption properties of the tested ABS samples are significantly influenced by many factors, namely by the type of 3D-printed, open-porous material structure, the excitation frequency, the sample thickness, and the air gap size behind the sound-absorbing materials inside the acoustic impedance tube.

Panel Absorber

The paper concerns the sound absorption performance of a compound absorber which consists of a parallel arrangement of multiple perforated panel absorbers of different backing cavity depths partially filled with poroelastic polymer materials. Three polymer materials are considered: expandable polystyrene (EPS) foam, polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam, and polyester fiber. The normal incidence sound absorption coefficients of the compound panel absorber are tested experimentally. Results show that the former two foams can achieve similar absorption performance to the rigid cavity configuration, while the resonances shift to lower frequencies due to the changes of effective cavity depths. It is also found that the additional attenuation by polymer foams may improve sound absorption, but the effect is marginal. For polyester fiber, results show that it performs more like a single perforated panel absorber. Finite element simulation of the compound panel absorber is also discussed, and good agreement is observed between simulated and experimental results.

This work reports the results of experimental measurements of the sound absorption coefficient of ceramic materials using the principle of acoustic resonators. Subsequently, the values obtained from the measurements were used to train a simulation model of the acoustic behavior of the analyzed material based on artificial neural networks. The possible applications of sound-absorbing materials made with ceramic can derive from aesthetic or architectural needs or from functional needs, as ceramic is a fireproof material resistant to high temperatures. The results returned by the simulation model based on the artificial neural networks algorithm are particularly significant. This result suggests the adoption of this technology to find the finest possible configuration that allows the best sound absorption performance of the material.

Nanofiber Membranes

Blend films based on polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene oxide (70/30 wt%) undoped and doped with different concentration of graphene oxide were prepared by spiral vane electrospinning. Characteristic properties of the blend films were investigated by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The sound absorption performance of the compositions (nanofiber membranes and needle punched non-woven fabric) was tested by an impedance tube. The sound absorption performance of non-woven fabric has greatly improved after combining with thin nanofiber membranes. With addition of graphene oxide, the fibers were intertwined in a loop and form a network, the areal density and surface roughness of the nanofiber membrane are reduced. Composites containing polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene oxide nanofiber membranes and composites containing polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene oxide/graphene oxide nanofiber membranes exhibited different sound absorption properties in different frequency bands. When the fiber coefficient of variation was small, the average sound absorption coefficient of the composite material was high. However, composites containing both polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene oxide/graphene oxide nanofiber membranes had similar sound absorption properties, and the average sound absorption coefficient was greater than that of polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene oxide composites.

Micro-perforated panel (MPP) has been widely considered as a very promising alternative in absorbing sound by utilizing the concept and mechanism of Helmholtz resonator. Most of the existing MPP are made of metallic material such as aluminium or stainless steel. In this study, biodegradable composite micro-perforated panel (BC-MPP) made from kenaf fibre and polylactic acid (PLA) will be implemented. Impedance tube test shows that BC-MPP possessed excellent sound absorption properties and could rival with conventional MPP. The peak absorption of BC-MPP is also more significant compare to conventional MPP as the peak absorption almost reaches unity.

Different Diameters

Micro-perforated panels (MPPs) are one of the most promising alternatives to conventional porous sound-absorbing materials. Traditionally, the theory of the sound absorption properties of MPPs is based on the assumption that MPPs are a homogeneous material with identical pores at regular intervals. However, in recent years, some MPPs have not met these conditions, and although a variety of designs have been created, their properties and prediction methods were studied in only fewer works. In this paper, considering the wide variety of MPP designs, we made a trial production of heterogeneous MPPs, which are MPPs with holes of different diameters, and studied the prediction method applicable to these MPPs. We measured the normal incidence sound absorption characteristics of those MPPs, backed by a rigid backing and air-cavity in-between, in an impedance tube. The prediction method proposed in this work is to treat the heterogeneous MPPs as combinations of several homogeneous components, and to combine them after applying the existing theory on homogeneous MPPs to each component. As a result, except in a few cases, the measured and predicted values of the absorption properties agreed relatively well. We also found that the arrangement of the holes in the material and the depth of the back cavity affected the agreement between the measured and predicted results.

Energy Absorbing

Energy absorption capability of structures with embedded pores depends upon the amount of voids present and their configurations/distributions. In this study, the energy absorption of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA) structures with varying pore shapes and sizes are investigated. The research was performed by two teams comprised of High School/Middle School teachers and undergraduate students as part of National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored Research Experience for Teacher (RET)/Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) teams. ABS samples were fabricated by Team 1 and utilized cubic unit cells with octahedral pores while Team 2 fabricated PLA samples that utilized unit cells with spherical pores. Eight sets of samples with dimensions 25mm × 25mm × 20mm were fabricated using a Makerbot Replicator 2X for ABS samples and a Lulzbot TAZ 5 for PLA samples. Each sample incorporated a 5 × 5 × 4 array of pores. All the samples were tested in compression and energy absorption per unit material volume of all the samples up to a particular maximum load was calculated from load-deflection curves. It is observed that the specific energy absorption of PLA and ABS porous structures greatly increases with increased porosity.

In this study sound absorption properties of multilayer nonwovens with bicomponent fibers have been derived compared with homocomponent fibers. Multilayer nonwovens obtained by polyester fibers consisted of three layers. The top and bottom layers were spunbonded nonwoven and middle layer was meltblown nonwoven sandwiched between them. Each layer was produced separately to compose unbonded three-layered nonwoven structures. Four different spunbonded nonwoven fabrics having a basis weight of 40 gsm made from four different polyester cross-sectional fibers (homocomponent round and trilobal, bicomponent round and trilobal). Five different meltblown nonwoven fabrics having five different basis weights ranging 100 gsm to 200 gsm were made from polyester round cross-sectional fibers. Spunbonded/ Meltblown/ Spunbonded (SMS) type unbonded multilayer nonwovens had basis weights ranging 180 gsm to 280 gsm. The effect of basis weight on sound absorption performance of multilayer nonwovens has been evaluated in the study. All results have been analyzed statistically. Results show that three-layered nonwoven structures including bicomponent fibers as outer layers had better sound absorption performance than nonwoven structures including homocomponent fibers. This effect becomes more significant as the basis weight increases, resulting insound absorption coefficients.
