Abstract

The effect of voids on the acoustic performance of a perforated dissipative expansion chamber is investigated by axially staggering filled/empty segments external to the perforations. A two-dimensional analytical approach is used to determine the Transmission Loss (TL) through pressure and velocity matching at the boundaries of the inlet/outlet ducts, rigid end-plates, and the interfaces between the fibrous material and void. The analytical results are then compared with the experiments and numerical predictions for one specific configuration, showing a reasonable agreement. The effects of void length and location, and the properties of fibrous material on the acoustic attenuation of this perforated dissipative expansion chamber are also discussed
