[0002] Thin-film acoustic metamaterials are artificially designed "subwavelength" scale materials with negative equivalent mass characteristics. Due to their light weight, small size, and strong designability, they have gradually become a research hotspot for solving noise problems.

[0003] Current theoretical research on thin-film acoustic metamaterials mostly focuses on boundary conditions such as fixed and simply supported boundaries. Since the boundary conditions of metamaterials have a significant impact on their sound insulation performance, and in practical applications of acoustic metamaterials, not only classical boundary conditions such as fixed and simply supported boundaries exist, but general elastic constraints are more consistent with actual application conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a theoretical model for the unit cell structure of thin-film acoustic metamaterials under general elastic constraints to explore their sound insulation mechanism under general boundary conditions.

[0189] Establishing such a commercial acoustic software COMSOL Figure 5 The acoustic-structure coupling model shown includes a thin-film acoustic metamaterial and two acoustic cavities, one on the left and one on the right.

[0190] The two acoustic cavities in the model are 26mm×26mm×50mm in size and are given the properties of air material. The end faces of the two acoustic cavities are set as plane wave radiation boundary conditions, with one end set as an incident pressure field with an amplitude of 1Pa and the other boundary set as hard acoustic field boundaries.

This is because both have the same film area and the same regular symmetrical structure, resulting in similar vibration characteristics and thus similar sound insulation curves. To further verify the design using a standing wave tube, a circular acoustic metamaterial sample was used to verify the established analytical model for the sound insulation of the square thin-film acoustic metamaterial. An experimental test platform was built based on a four-sensor standing wave tube, and the accuracy of the analytical model under fixed-boundary conditions was verified from the perspective of the sound insulation curve using the standing wave tube test method. A schematic diagram of the test platform is shown below. Figure 8 As shown.

[0193] Based on the above schematic diagram, the following can be constructed: Figure 9The experimental platform shown has a specimen diameter of 29 mm. The thin-film acoustic metamaterial consists of a 0.3 mm thick HDPE film, and the central mass block is an 8 mm × 8 mm × 2 mm aluminum block. The film and the mass block are bonded together with 402 glue. The actual experimental specimen is shown below. Figure 10 As shown in (a), the sample is mounted on the standing wave tube, and the fixed boundary is achieved by clamping the source tube and the receiver tube. The mounting method is as follows: Figure 10 As shown in (b).

[0194] The fixed boundary of the theoretical model can be set to k b &K b =10 12 To simulate this, the choice of scaling factors j and p affects the solution accuracy of the model. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the convergence of the scaling factors. According to the definition of the scaling factor, the minimum value of j and p is 9. Substituting j = p = 9, 10, and 11 into the sound insulation analysis model, we obtain the sound insulation curves under the three schemes as follows: Figure 11 As shown.

[0195] Depend on Figure 11 It can be seen that as the scaling factor increases, the predicted sound insulation curves differ, but the overall trend is consistent. Furthermore, when the scaling factor increases from 10 to 11, the sound insulation curve remains essentially unchanged, especially at the sound insulation peak, where the two curves are highly consistent. However, when j = p = 9, 10, and 11, the calculation time for the sound insulation analysis model is 50.3 min, 89.6 min, and 310.5 min, respectively; therefore, the subsequent sound insulation analysis model will use the j = p = 10 scheme.

[0196] First, the accuracy of the sound insulation analysis model is verified from the perspective of the sound insulation curve, and the comparison results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown, the results indicate that the overall trends of the sound insulation curves of the thin-film acoustic metamaterials obtained by the three methods are highly consistent. The thin-film acoustic metamaterials produce a distinct sound insulation peak and two sound insulation valleys in the calculated frequency band. The established sound insulation analysis model can predict the sound insulation curve of the thin-film acoustic metamaterials relatively accurately.

[0197] To ensure the applicability of the sound insulation analysis model under general boundary conditions, this invention also verifies the accuracy of the sound insulation analysis model using two classic boundary conditions: simply supported and free. Verification is performed by analyzing the sound insulation curves using the FEA method. Specifically, the boundary conditions of the FEA model are changed to simply supported or free boundaries and solved in COMSOL. The simply supported boundary in the sound insulation analysis model can be set as k... b =10 12 ,K b =0 can be used to simulate, while the free boundary can be represented by k. b &K b=0 to simulate, and the scaling factor is selected according to the scheme of j=p=10. The sound insulation curves of simply supported boundary and free boundary obtained by the FEA method and the analytical method of the sound insulation analysis model of this invention are as follows. Figure 13 (a) and such Figure 13 As shown in (b).

[0198] Depend on Figure 12 It can be seen that the sound insulation prediction values ​​of thin-film acoustic metamaterials obtained by the two methods under simply supported and free boundary conditions differ at the sound insulation peaks and valleys, but the differences are not significant, and the two are highly consistent in the overall sound insulation trend.

[0199] In summary, the analytical method for the sound insulation characteristics of thin-film acoustic metamaterials according to an embodiment of the present invention establishes a physical model of the thin-film acoustic metamaterial, then uses continuous transverse and torsional springs to simulate the general elastic constraint boundary conditions of the thin-film acoustic metamaterial, and then, based on the Rayleigh-Ritz method and Hamilton's principle, combined with the plane wave equation, establishes a sound insulation analysis model of the thin-film acoustic metamaterial under vertical plane wave excitation. The obtained sound insulation analysis model can accurately predict the sound insulation characteristics of the thin-film acoustic metamaterial under any boundary conditions such as fixed support, simply supported, and free, and is no longer limited to a single boundary condition. It has strong boundary condition adaptability and can be used to analyze the sound insulation characteristics of thin-film acoustic metamaterials in practical application scenarios.
