This study presents the design and experimental validation of acoustic metamaterials with ventilation and broadband asymmetric absorption. An asymmetric absorbing cell (AAC) consisting of detuned Helmholtz resonators connected by sound channels achieves near-perfect sound absorption from the left port, while maintaining a ventilation ratio of 40%. Parallel three-cell asymmetric absorber (PTAA) formed by paralleling three AACs exhibits broadband asymmetric absorption. Additionally, a multi-asymmetric absorber (MAA) with a frequency range of 1000 Hz to 1750 Hz and air circulation capability is designed and fabricated using 3D printing technology.
Acoustic metamaterials with both ventilation and broadband asymmetric absorption have demonstrated great scientific significance and promising applicability. In this work, we design an asymmetric absorbing cell (AAC) consisting of a pair of detuned Helmholtz resonators (HRs) connected by sound channels that allows airflow with a ventilation ratio (ventilation area divided by sound incidence area) of 40%, which can achieve near-perfect sound absorption in the operating frequency range when sound waves are incident from the left port. However, when incident on the right port, the acoustic absorption coefficient does not exceed 40% at most, so asymmetric absorption is achieved. In addition, we form parallel three-cell asymmetric absorber (PTAA) by paralleling three AACs, which have broadband asymmetric absorption compared to AAC. Furthermore, we design multi-asymmetric absorber (MAA), which can achieve broadband asymmetric absorption range from 1000 Hz to 1750 Hz, and also allow air circulation. Moreover, experimental validation is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of fabricated MAA by 3D printing technology. Our designs open potential possibilities for developing ventilated functional devices capable of absorbing sound asymmetrically.
