Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metamaterials, and more specifically, to acoustic-vibration composite metamaterials. Background Technology

[0002] With urbanization and industrialization, noise pollution has increasingly impacted human life, causing significant harm to health and the operational status of equipment. Among all noise problems, noise from large transportation vehicles is the most severe. The noise generated by high-speed trains, airplanes, and automobiles not only affects passenger comfort but also causes substantial environmental damage and impacts the lives of nearby residents. Therefore, the demand for effective noise reduction methods is growing rapidly. Traffic noise involves both airborne and structural noise. Airborne noise is generated by a sound source and propagates through the air. Structural noise is generated by a vibration source and radiates in all directions through the vibration of solid structures. Traditional solutions to airborne noise problems utilize porous materials, relying on their excellent sound absorption properties to dissipate sound wave energy. Classic methods for addressing structural noise problems use damping materials or dynamic vibration absorbers to absorb vibration energy and suppress structural noise propagation. However, most noise problems only focus on individual airborne and structural noise, neglecting the combined control of both. The direct superposition of airborne sound absorbers and structural sound absorbers not only affects the modulation performance of sound waves but also increases the size and weight of the equipment, reducing its space utilization. Therefore, composite metamaterials capable of simultaneously controlling airborne and structural sound have become key to solving today's noise problems and further improving the comfort, practicality, and safety of transportation equipment.

[0003] Acoustic metamaterials, as artificially designable functional materials, offer new insights into the effective manipulation of sound fields. Without altering the inherent composition of the material, multiple functions can be achieved solely through the structural design of the metamaterial platform. This structural characteristic grants metamaterials immense design freedom and macroscopically extraordinary properties not found in naturally occurring materials. Acoustic metamaterials for controlling airborne sound generally include thin-film or plate structures, Helmholtz structures, and spatially coiled structures, and are widely studied in various fields such as wavefront manipulation of airborne sound, acoustic holography, and ultrathin total sound absorption. Structural acoustic manipulation based on acoustic metamaterials primarily focuses on applying periodically arranged low-frequency resonant units to the vibrating body, generating elastic wave band gaps. For this type of metamaterial unit structure, in addition to the Bragg scattering band gap generated by geometric periodicity, local resonant band gaps can also be introduced, causing the elastic waves propagating in the main structure to transform into evanescent waves and be dissipated.

[0004] Due to the structured properties of metamaterials, the ability to modulate airborne sound and structured sound can theoretically be integrated into a single platform. Furthermore, since metamaterials capable of modulating structured sound are often composed of single-mode resonant units, their operating frequency band is limited to a narrow region. Therefore, introducing complex modes to realize composite metamaterials capable of simultaneously modulating airborne and structured sound has significant research and application value.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] This invention relates to the field of metamaterials technology, specifically to an acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial and its application, and more specifically to an acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial capable of simultaneously modulating airborne sound and structural sound and its application.

[0040] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to integrate airborne sound control and structural sound control capabilities, providing a sound-vibration composite metamaterial capable of simultaneously controlling airborne sound and structural sound, and its applications.

[0041] This invention provides an acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial and its application. The acoustic metamaterial can jointly control airborne sound and structural sound, and is suitable for complex sound field environments that simultaneously contain sound sources and vibration sources.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the present invention.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the application scenario includes a vibrating substrate 11, an acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial 12, a sound source 13, a vibration source 14, an incident sound wave 15, an emitted sound wave 16, and a vibration excitation 17.

The vibration excitation 17 is generated by the vibration source 14, generating complex modes on the vibrating substrate 11.

The vibration source 14 can be located at any point on the vibrating substrate 11, and the vibration effect is consistent on both sides of the vibrating substrate 11.

[0046] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The system components described do not limit the application scenarios of the present invention. They may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0047] This invention provides an acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial, such as... Figure 2 The image shows an embodiment of the acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial of the present invention, in which the unit structure is presented in the form of a cylinder.

[0048] In this embodiment, the elastic outer coating 121, the rigid inner core 122, and the air column 123 constitute a metamaterial structural unit presented in a cylindrical form, wherein the elastic outer coating 121 and the rigid inner core 122 are tightly bonded together. Embedding the rigid inner core 122 within the structured elastic outer coating 121 can further construct a non-uniform structure with multi-directional local resonance characteristics. Excellent airborne sound absorption performance is generated through the expansion and contraction of the elastic outer coating 121 and its multi-modal interference with the rigid inner core 122. Notably, the dynamic vibration absorption at low frequencies and the broadband structural damping caused by multi-directional local resonance give the metamaterial excellent structural sound modulation capabilities.

[0049] In this embodiment, the material of the elastic outer coating 121 can be a closed-cell material such as EPE foam or rubber foam, or an open-cell foam with excellent vibration performance can be obtained by further adjusting the porosity. The material of the rigid inner core 122 in this embodiment can be PLA plastic, ABS plastic, etc.

[0050] It should be noted that the metamaterial elastic outer coating 121 described in this invention is not limited to the types of materials mentioned above. In practical applications, any material with elasticity and high mechanical stability can be selected. The metamaterial rigid inner core 122 described in this invention is not limited to the types of materials mentioned above. In practical applications, any rigid material with a high elastic modulus and low deformability can be selected.

[0051] This invention provides an acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial, such as... Figure 3 The image shows an embodiment of the acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial of the present invention, in which the unit structure is presented in a tetrahedral solid form.

[0052] In this embodiment, the elastic outer coating 121, the rigid inner core 122, and the air column 123 constitute a metamaterial structural unit presented in a tetrahedral form, wherein the elastic outer coating 121 and the rigid inner core 122 are tightly bonded together. Embedding the rigid inner core 122 within the structured elastic outer coating 121 further constructs a non-uniform structure with localized resonance characteristics on all four sides. Through the expansion and contraction of the elastic outer coating 121, and its multimodal interference with the rigid inner core 122, excellent airborne sound absorption performance is generated. Notably, the broadband structural damping caused by dynamic vibration absorption at low frequencies and multidirectional localized resonance gives the metamaterial excellent structural sound modulation capabilities.

[0053] In this embodiment, the material of the elastic outer coating 121 can be a closed-cell material such as EPE foam or rubber foam, or an open-cell foam with excellent vibration performance can be obtained by further adjusting the porosity. The material of the rigid inner core 122 in this embodiment can be PLA plastic, ABS plastic, etc.

[0054] It should be noted that the metamaterial elastic outer coating 121 of this invention is not limited to the types of materials mentioned above. In practical applications, any material with elasticity and high mechanical stability can be selected. The metamaterial rigid inner core 122 of this invention is not limited to the types of materials mentioned above. In practical applications, any rigid material with a high elastic modulus and low deformability can be selected.

[0055] It is worth noting that the metamaterial unit structure described in this invention is not limited to cylindrical or tetrahedral forms; different structural units can be designed according to actual application scenarios.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of other possible structural styles for the rigid inner core structure of the present invention.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, (a) shows a rigid inner core structure with a circular open ring structure; (b) shows a rigid inner core structure with a square open ring structure.

[0058] Different structural styles of rigid cores will cause changes in the multimodal interference generated by metamaterials, thereby affecting their ability to modulate airborne and structural sound as well as the range of frequency bands modulated.

[0059] like Figure 5 The diagram shown illustrates the selectable connection methods for the unit structure of this invention.

[0060] To maximize the use of multimodal interference effects, each metamaterial unit structure is connected together. The connection will generate more complex modes, thereby improving the acoustic modulation capability.

[0061] Figure 5 Figure (a) shows a schematic diagram of the connection between two metamaterial unit structures; Figure (b) shows a schematic diagram of the connection between three metamaterial unit structures. Different connection methods produce different modulation effects. In practical applications, the connection method of the metamaterial unit structure can be designed according to the required modulation frequency band and modulation target.

[0062] It is worth noting that the connection method of the metamaterial unit structure of the present invention is not limited to... Figure 5 The connection method shown can be adapted to the specific needs of the situation.

[0063] like Figure 6 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the arrangement of the acoustic-vibration composite metamaterial of the present invention on a vibrating substrate.

[0064] In practical applications, the vibrating substrate 11 is not necessarily a regular and smooth rectangle. Different arrangement methods can be selected to adapt to different substrate forms.

[0065] It is worth noting that the metamaterial arrangement described in this invention is not limited to... Figure 6 The layout shown can be adapted to different layouts depending on the specific circumstances.

[0066] like Figure 7 The diagram shown is a schematic of the metamaterial on the bent vibration substrate of the present invention.

[0067] In practical applications, the vibrating substrate 11 may not be a flat, thin-walled structure; the bending boundary 111 divides the vibrating substrate 11 into different regions. The metamaterial described in this invention achieves joint control of airborne sound and structural sound in different regions.

[0068] It is worth noting that the actual application scenarios are not limited to Figure 7 The composite metamaterial described in this invention can be installed in various bending conditions and different vibrating substrate areas to achieve sound field modulation of the entire area.

[0069] like Figure 8 The diagram shown is a schematic of the metamaterials of the present invention, which are assembled from different basic unit structures.

[0070] By arranging metamaterial embodiments in different regions, different modulation effects can be given to different regions, making the metamaterials of the present invention more flexibly applicable to different environments.

[0071] like Figure 9 The diagram shown is a schematic of the metamaterial with a rigid inner core and an outer surface according to the present invention.

[0072] In practical applications, the rigid inner core 122 can be exposed and fixed to the surface of the rigid substrate 11, and the elastic coating 124 unfolds in a planar form, closely adhering to the upper side of the rigid inner core. This embodiment no longer includes the sound absorption characteristics generated by the complex multimodal interference at the connection of the elastic coating, but adds the sound absorption characteristics generated by the resonance of the air cavity.

[0073] It should be noted that the rigid inner core described in this embodiment is not limited to... Figure 9 The arrangement shown can be designed according to the specific sound absorption frequency band required.

[0074] The sound absorption and vibration absorption properties of composite metamaterial configurations are characterized by finite element analysis.

[0075] The dimensional parameters of the unit structure are as follows: elastic outer coating 121 outer diameter 19.5mm, inner diameter 11.5mm, height 100mm; rigid inner core 122 outer diameter 11.5mm, inner diameter 8mm, height 100mm.

[0076] The material parameters of the unit structure are as follows: the elastic outer coating 121 has a density of 20 kg / m3, a Young's modulus of 230 (1+0.3j) kPa, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.45; the rigid inner core 122 has a density of 1180 kg / m3 and a modulus of 1910 MPa.

[0077] Sound absorption characteristics characterization: Refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 The finite element method results for the sound absorption coefficient of the cylindrical metamaterial provided in this embodiment of the invention are shown.

[0078] The equations of motion and continuity of sound waves are as follows:

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] Where p, ρ, and υ represent pressure, density, and particle velocity, respectively.

[0082] Considering that when sound waves pass through a metamaterial volume element, the pressure, temperature, and density within the volume element all change, and these three quantities are interrelated, this state of change is governed by the thermodynamic equation of state. Even at low frequencies, the sound wave process proceeds relatively quickly. The compression and expansion processes of the volume element are much shorter than the time required for heat conduction. Therefore, during sound wave propagation, the medium has not yet had time to exchange heat with adjacent structures. Thus, the sound wave propagation process can be considered an adiabatic process, and the pressure p is only a function of the density ρ. That is:

[0083] p = p(ρ)

[0084] The minute increases in pressure and density caused by acoustic disturbances are:

[0085]

[0086] When a volume element is compressed, both pressure and density increase; when a volume element expands, both pressure and density decrease. Therefore, a coefficient can be obtained. Constant is positive, with c 2 This gives us the equation of state:

[0087] dp = c 2 dρ

[0088] Combining the equations of motion, continuity, and state of sound waves, we obtain:

[0089]

[0090] The sound absorption characteristics in the finite element simulation are solved using the above equations.

[0091] Sound pressure reflection coefficient γ p and sound pressure transmission coefficient τ p It can be calculated from the sound pressure field in finite element simulation, that is:

[0092] γ p =P r / P i ,

[0093] τ p =P t / P i ,

[0094] Where P r ,P t , and P iThese represent the reflected sound field intensity, transmitted sound field intensity, and incident sound field intensity in the simulation model, respectively. Using γ... p and τ p The sound absorption coefficient α of the sample model can be obtained:

[0095] α=1-|γ p | 2 -|τ p | 2

[0096] like Figure 10 As shown, for the connection pattern of the two metamaterial unit structures, significant sound absorption peaks can be achieved at 860Hz and 1200Hz, and there is a tendency for sound absorption peaks to reappear at high frequencies as the frequency increases.

[0097] It should be noted that the effect of the composite metamaterial proposed in this invention on airborne sound control is not limited to the sound absorption finite element calculation results shown in this embodiment, and can include various control effects such as sound insulation, total reflection, and frequency selection, which are not specifically limited here.

[0098] Vibration absorption characteristics characterization: Refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 The results of finite element analysis of the vibration amplitude of the cylindrical metamaterial provided in this embodiment of the invention.

[0099] Finite element method (FEM) simulations were performed to calculate the distribution of the 16 cylindrical unit structures and their connection patterns. A unit point load signal was applied at a specified point on the vibrating substrate, and the amplitude at another point on the substrate was calculated to determine the effect of the composite metamaterial described in this invention on the structural acoustics.

[0100] In this finite element simulation, the vibrating substrate 11 is selected as a square thin aluminum plate with a thickness of 2mm and a side length of 500mm. For example... Figure 11 As shown, simulations were performed on a substrate covered by 16 large units and an empty substrate without metamaterial coverage. It can be seen that two distinct troughs occur at 300Hz and 520Hz, respectively. At 300Hz, the frequency response amplitude of the 2mm thick aluminum plate is suppressed by 40dB. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that in the remaining frequency range, the composite metamaterial can also attenuate the sharp vibration peaks of the empty substrate, exhibiting excellent vibration damping capabilities.
