This research is about the sound attenuation in the duct with lining sound absorbing material in it. Many previous researches assumed the property of lining material as locally-reacting. As the thickness of lining material thickens or the upper limit of the interested frequency range goes higher, there is a growing tendency for the experiment results to deviate from the theoretical results based on the locally reacting assumption. In this paper, the acoustic performance of the two-dimensional dissipative silencer with the propagation of sound in the absorbent was derived theoretically and calculated. The effect of increase of sound absorbing material is also considered. These results are compared from the previous results with using the locally-reacting property of sound absorbing material.

Accurate prediction of the transmission loss of dissipative silencers has been considered difficult due to the ambiguity and complexity in the physical properties of sound absorbing materials. Additional difficulty lies in the fact that the analytical calculation of the propagation constant is unknown yet. In this paper. as a first step toward obtaining the Propagation constant and thus predicting the transmission loss, an approximation equation stemming from the wave analysis in the lined interior has been derived. Such an analytical solution and numerical solution using the boundary element method are compared for a two-dimensional simple dissipative silencer under the assumption of the locally reacting sound absorbent.

In this study, the acoustic performance of a dissipative silencer used in the ship with excellent performance compared to its size was predicted and analyzed using a numerical analysis method to reduce the pipe noise. To this end, the performance of the single expansion chamber-shaped silencer was verified using experimental and numerical analysis methods. The acoustic performance of the silencer was expressed using the Transmission Loss (TL), an indicator of its own performance, and the result was derived using the two-load method, which measured by changing the impedance at the end of the pipe. For the numerical analysis method, a general-purpose finite element analysis program was used, and the Delany-Bazley-Miki model with the flow resistivity of the sound absorbing material as an input parameter was applied. Finally, we compared the experimental and simulated results for each of the acoustic performances of the single expansion type and the dissipative silencer to confirm the consistency of the results, and predicted and analyzed the simulation results for four cases according to the properties of the sound absorbing material.

Straight absorptive silencers have been designed to reduce the noise level of a centrifugal blower. Three-dimensional boundary element method is used for the design of absorptive silencers which consist of a perforated main pipe and a outer chamber filled with fibrous material. The experimental results show that the absorptive silencer reduces up to 8 dB(A) in the overall sound pressure level of the blower and up to 15 dB at the blade passing frequency. It is also found that the gap between the silencer and the impeller may substantially alter the acoustic performance of the silencers. The transmission loss predicted by the boundary element method follows overall trends of the measured insertion loss. The experiments also show that the impact of the silencers on the aerodynamic performance of the blower is minimum.

Absorption silencer is one of the most noise reduction devices and covered a wide range of noise matters. On account of the acoustical properties of absorption silencers depend on variable factor and complex matters, the design of silencers couldn't to be exact in various fields. In this study, we predicted the acoustical properties of absorptive silencers based on measured data and assumed how the acoustical properties is changed following baffle thickness, variable baffle form and open area. Also we recorded the pressure drop at each other. So it may a great help to engineer who install and design a silencer in various fields.

Based on ISO 7235, an experimental setup to measure the acoustic performance of splitter type dissipative silencers was fabricated. The length of each duct, sound source, microphone locations, modal filter, and anechoic termination were considered in the design of this setup. The modal filter is a particularly important factor because it affects the limit of measurement. The effects of number of splitters, absorptive material density, perforate plate, and media on the noise reduction of the sample silencers were experimentally investigated. The experimental results show that the insertion loss of a silencer with media, high perforate opening, and higher number of splitters increases especially at higher frequencies.

This paper deals with transmission loss of 3-dimensional rectangular plenum lined chamber. There are three kinds of rectangular plenum lined chamber: throughflow type, flow-reversal type, and end-in/side-out type. The combination of above three types of rectangular plenum lined chamber is used for the commercial HVAC system and automobile exhaust system. However, the ambiguity and complexity of sound absorbing material property and 3-dimensional property have impeded research. In this paper, the transmission loss of three kinds of rectangular plenum lined chamber is derived and calculated. The effect of increase of sound absorbing material is also considered. Analytical solution is calculated by using the locally-reacting property of sound absorbing material.

The purpose of this study is on the prediction of the acoustic performance of the lined rectangular plenum chamber which can be used in the HVAC systems. The lined plenum chamber is modeled as a piston driven rectangular tube without mean flow and the acoustic pressure in the lined chamber is obtained by superposing the three dimensional pressure due to each of uniformly and harmonically fluctuating pistons. The arbitrary locations of inlet/outlet ports as well as the acoustic higher order modes generated at the area discontinuities of the port chamber interfaces are taken into consideration. The four-pole parameters can be derived by imposing the proper boundary conditions on each inlet and outlet ports. The lining material on the internal wall is assumed to be a bulk-reacting model. A single weak variation statement which satisfies the fluctuating rigid piston condition and the pressure and displacement continuity condition at the interface between the lining material and the airway was developed. The set of cosine functions were used as the admissible function when applying the Rayleigh-Ritz method. Computed results are compared with those predicted by using the locally-reacting lining material and experimental results, respectively. There are a good agreement shown between the results by the Rayleigh-Ritz method and the experiment results. The derived transfer matrices can be easily combined with other four-pole parameters of different types of mufflers for the calculation of the whole system performance.
