This article introduces a hybrid approach for evaluating the acoustic performance of multi-layered materials, and validates its accuracy and feasibility through experimental and numerical comparisons. This method can be applied in estimating the acoustical behaviors of multi-layered structures in noise control treatments.
Many numerical and measuring approaches are widely used in predicting and analysing the acoustic performances of laminated materials for noise control applications. However, numerical methods generally require a set of non-acoustic parameters, and the measuring methods are not available for exceedingly thick materials. The main aim of this article is to address a hybrid approach of evaluating the normal incidence sound transmission loss and absorption coefficients of multi-layered materials. This method is performed with some special parameters that contain the sound transmission and reflection coefficients of each sub-layer of a multi-layer specimen and can be measured by a standing wave tube system. The accuracy and feasibility of the present method are validated by the experimental and numerical comparisons between different methods and samples. Moreover, this present approach can be applied as a numerical tool of estimating the acoustical behaviours of multi-layered structures in noise control treatments, such as automotive, building and aerospace industries.
