The invention provides an
underwater broadband sound absorption
metamaterial based on a Helmholtz
resonant cavity and a design method thereof. The sound absorption
metamaterial comprises a frame and a cover plate. A
resonant cavity is arranged in the frame, one end of the frame is open, and the inner wall of the frame is coated with a damping material
coating. The cover plate is connected to the open end of the frame to seal the frame, the cover plate is provided with a plurality of parallel necks vertically extending into the
resonant cavity from the cover plate, the necks are in a hollow cylindrical shape, and sound
waves enter from one end of each neck and enter the resonant cavity from the other end of each neck. The
metamaterial is simple in structure; the sound absorption
peak value at the frequency point below 1000Hz can reach more than 0.99, and the thickness is only 1 / 125-1 / 45 of the corresponding perfect sound absorption
wavelength; in the range of 0-2000Hz, the sound absorption coefficient can reach more than 0.5, the effective sound
absorption bandwidth can reach 127.9%, and the thickness of the metamaterial is within 1 / 45 of the
wavelength, so that the metamaterial is an
underwater low-frequency perfect sound absorption metamaterial with the deep sub-
wavelength scale, has excellent low-
frequency sound absorption performance, is wide in sound
absorption frequency band, and can meet the low-
frequency sound absorption requirement by being small in size.
