Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of noise control, and more specifically to an optimized design method for the layout of porous material layers for noise reduction on the surface of acoustic cavities. Technical Background
[0002] In engineering, noise control of acoustic cavity structures has always been a research focus. For example, in automobiles, the vehicle acoustic cavity and tire acoustic cavity are hot topics in automotive NVH performance research. Similar to other structural systems, acoustic cavity structures have modal frequencies and mode shapes. When the external excitation frequency is close to the characteristic frequency of the acoustic cavity system, resonance occurs, exacerbating the noise problem. Laying porous sound-absorbing materials or sound-absorbing structures at the cavity boundaries is a commonly used method in engineering to suppress acoustic cavity noise. The traditional method is to completely lay sound-absorbing materials at the boundaries of the entire acoustic cavity system. However, this method not only increases noise reduction costs but also adds significant weight to the structure. More importantly, this method often fails to achieve optimal vibration and noise reduction effects. Summary of the Invention

The imaginary part of the characteristic frequency represents the damping loss, which can more realistically reflect the damping loss characteristics of the acoustic cavity structure. This allows for adaptation to various complex acoustic cavity structure design requirements, making the material distribution design more flexible and better meeting the noise reduction needs of different application scenarios. This invention uses the imaginary part of the characteristic frequency as a quantitative indicator of the sound absorption effect of the noise-reducing porous material. This method avoids the simplification assumptions or errors that may exist in traditional evaluation methods, making the evaluation of the sound absorption effect more scientific and accurate. Using the imaginary part of the characteristic frequency as the objective function for topology optimization makes the optimization results more reliable and better fits the actual needs of sound absorption performance.
