Sound absorption by an active resonator array near an impedance surface

详细

Absorption of sound waves incident on a plane surface with arbitrary impedance by a planar active resonator array consisting of monopole or dipole resonators and positioned near the surface is considered. Appropriate tuning of active resonators ensures complete absorption of sound waves incident at a fixed angle in a broad frequency band. The effect of tuning errors on the efficiency of sound absorption by the systems under study is investigated. It is shown that, for rigid surfaces, a monopole resonator array yields a higher absorption efficiency, whereas for soft surfaces, a dipole resonator array is the more efficient one.
