To address the challenges of balancing low-frequency broadband noise reduction and lightweight design in aircraft cabin noise control within the aviation field, a design method for a multi-directional folded honeycomb structure (MFHS) acoustic metamaterial was proposed. The sound absorption unit of the MFHS was composed of a honeycomb cavity and a square insert tube. A theoretical sound absorption model was established based on the resonance principle, and the influence laws of three key structural parameters(the side length and height of the insert tube, and the length of the cavity) on the sound absorption performance were systematically investigated. The coupled performance of multiple units in parallel was analyzed to achieve broadband sound absorption. To better achieve the lightweight objective, a design method of multi-directional folding was adopted, and samples were fabricated using lightweight materials. Experimental results show that the fabricated MFHS sample achieves an average sound absorption coefficient of 0.85 in the frequency range of 400~1200 Hz, and the thickness of structure is only 35 mm, the areal density is as low as 7.04 kg/m². This realizes the synergistic design of low-frequency broadband efficient sound absorption and lightweight, offering a new idea for low-frequency noise control in the aviation field.
通过双麦克风法在100 mm × 100 mm方形阻抗管测试系统中测量样品工作频率范围内的吸声系数,如图15所示。为适配阻抗管测试条件,结构设计时已确保样品横截面尺寸小于阻抗管内截面,打印时以硬边界填充空余部分,使样品与管壁紧密配合。实验直接测得的声阻抗及吸声系数均是基于阻抗管截面积的计算值,而样品的实际有效吸声面积小于该值,因此根据实际面积比进行阻抗修正,可进一步计算得到样品的真实吸声系数。
