Acoustic perfect absorption via a structure with deep subwavelength thickness is of great and continuing interest in research and engineering. This study analytically and experimentally investigates acoustic systems based on Helmholtz resonators which have embedded-apertures. The strategy of embedding apertures greatly improves the ability to manipulate the impedance of the systems. Based on the inverted configuration, perfect absorption has been realized (reaching 0.999 in experiments) via a design whose thickness is only ∼1/50th of the operating wavelength. Moreover, a tunable resonant frequency (137–300 Hz) and tunable absorption frequency bandwidth (22%–46%) can be achieved while preserving the perfect absorption performance and constant external shape. In tuning the perfect absorbers having a constant thickness, a conservation factor is revealed experimentally and then verified analytically, which could guide absorbers' design and facilitate the tuning. In addition, the distinct features of the proposed design were evaluated and validated and were compared with those of a related structure, a metasurface with a coiled backing cavity. The results have the potential to help with the design of highly efficient, thin, and tunable acoustic absorbers.

Acoustic perfect absorbers via Helmholtz resonators with embedded apertures

Military antisubmarine sonars produce intense sounds within the hearing range of most clupeid fish. The behavioral reactions of overwintering herring (Clupea harengus) to sonar signals of two different frequency ranges (1–2 and 6–7kHz), and to playback of killer whale feeding sounds, were tested in controlled exposure experiments in Vestfjorden, Norway, November 2006. The behavior of free ranging herring was monitored by two upward-looking echosounders. A vessel towing an operational naval sonar source approached and passed over one of them in a block design setup. No significant escape reactions, either vertically or horizontally, were detected in response to sonar transmissions. Killer whale feeding sounds induced vertical and horizontal movements of herring. The results indicate that neither transmission of 1–2kHz nor 6–7kHz have significant negative influence on herring on the received sound pressure level tested (127–197 and 139–209dBrms re 1μPa, respectively). Military sonars of such frequencies and source levels may thus be operated in areas of overwintering herring without substantially affecting herring behavior or herring fishery. The avoidance during playback of killer whale sounds demonstrates the nature of an avoidance reaction and the ability of the experimental design to reveal it.

Two main methods have been proposed to derive the acoustical radiation force and torque applied by an arbitrary acoustic field on a particle: The first one relies on the plane wave angular spectrum decomposition of the incident field (see [Sapozhnikov and Bailey, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 133, 661 (2013)] for the force and [Gong and Baudoin, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 148, 3131 (2020)] for the torque), while the second one relies on the decomposition of the incident field into a sum of spherical waves, the so-called multipole expansion (see [Silva, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 130, 3541 (2011)] and [Baresh et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 133, 25 (2013)] for the force, and [Silva et al., EPL 97, 54003 (2012)] and [Gong et al., Phys. Rev. Applied 11, 064022 (2019)] for the torque). In this paper, we formally establish the equivalence between the expressions obtained with these two methods for both the force and torque.

基于角谱和多极展开的声辐射力与力矩公式的等价性

In the case of boundary value problems such as the sound scattering from a sphere placed in the nearfield of a plane piston source, it is sometimes essential to express the velocity potentials in terms of the orthogonal expansion. It is demonstrated in the present work that the Rayleigh surface integral, giving the velocity potential for a plane piston source surrounded by an infinite rigid flange, reduces to a rigorous expansion of the simplest form for a circular piston as series of spherical surface harmonics. The resulting equation is valid for any field points even on the piston surface. Sample calculations made with a microcomputer are presented with three-dimensional and contour plots.

The general formulation for the radiation force on a spherical object in an axisymmetric acoustic field is provided. The sphere is described in general by three parameters: its density, compressional wave speed, and shear wave speed. Other types of spheres, including the rigid and immovable sphere and the infinitely soft sphere (void), are treated as limiting cases. Specialized formulations of the radiation force function are provided for several types of incident waves of common interest. A low-frequency expansion for each case is provided for comparison with results from the literature. Among the solutions provided are the scattering function of an elastic sphere in a focused acoustic field and the radiation force on the sphere. The radiation force function is used to calibrate high-frequency transducers. Experimental data are provided for a focused transducer for frequencies up to 10 MHz, where the size of the elastic sphere is comparable to or larger than the −3-dB beamwidth of the sound field.

轴对称波场中球形物体的辐射力及其在高频换能器校准中的应用

In this study, an analytical model was developed to predict the sound absorption performance of fibrous absorbers fabricated using an extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing method. The proposed model employs geometric design parameters, including the average fiber diameter and the horizontal and vertical fiber separations, to calculate the porosity, static airflow resistivity, tortuosity, and viscous and thermal characteristic lengths. These transport parameters are then used within the Johnson–Champoux–Allard semiempirical formulation to predict the normal incidence sound absorption coefficient. The analytical model was validated by comparing the calculated properties with those obtained using the finite element-based hybrid numerical modeling method and those estimated through direct and indirect experimental measurements. Finally, by using the validated analytical model, the effect of each geometrical design parameter on the sound absorption performance of the 3D-printed fibrous absorbers was investigated, revealing that the absorption behavior is primarily controlled by the static airflow resistivity and showing that high absorption peaks and a broadband absorption profile can be achieved by adjusting the three geometrical parameters. This study highlights the potential of 3D printing to fabricate fibrous sound absorbers with tailored acoustic properties, offering a promising solution for advanced noise control materials.

This study numerically investigates the noise impact of multirotor aerial vehicles with different rotor scales during landing procedures. The operational environments of individual rotors are influenced by rotational speed and wake dynamics, leading to variations in landing noise characteristics. Noise impacts are evaluated across various landing operations from both physical and psychoacoustic perspectives using noise source hemispheres and noise maps. The physical noise impact is quantified using sound exposure level (SEL), while the psychoacoustic impact is assessed through a psychoacoustic annoyance (PA) based on sound quality metrics. Performance contours are established to compare noise impacts alongside other factors, such as energy consumption, landing duration, vehicle attitudes, and safety considerations. The combined effect of noise source strength and landing duration determines SEL, while PA is primarily influenced by acoustic loudness, which follows a similar trend to noise source strength. Consequently, physical and psychoacoustic noise impacts exhibit distinct trends based on the landing operations. This study outlines a process for optimizing landing operations that meet predefined performance goals while minimizing noise impacts. Because operational performance varies significantly across different landing procedures and vehicle types, the study emphasizes the importance of incorporating comprehensive performance criteria in the design of landing operations.

This study examines whether cue integration in tone perception undergoes changes caused by disparities in language experience among two groups of multidialectal speakers from Changsha: participants in the dialect-preserving group speak Changsha dialect (CD), Changsha Plastic Mandarin (CPM), and Standard Mandarin (SM), whereas participants in the dialect-lost group speak CPM and SM but not CD. An identification test on T1 and T4 was conducted, both of which are present in the CD and CPM. T1 and T4 are associated with a high pitch, but they differ in pitch height, pitch contour, and voice quality. In particular, T4 is associated with a tense voice quality. The results showed that F0 height is the primary cue for distinguishing T1 and T4 by both groups. Voice quality affects the perception of the dialect-preserving group, but it does not have an impact on the perception of the dialect-lost group. Alternatively, F0 contour plays a more important role in T1/T4 perception for the dialect-preserving group than for the dialect-lost group. This suggests that differences in language experience caused by dialect loss affect the use of F0 and voice quality cues in tone perception.

The soundscape approach provides a basis for considering the holistic perception of sound environments in context. Whereas steady advancements have been made in methods for assessment and analysis, a gap exists for comparing soundscapes and quantifying improvements in the multidimensional perception of a soundscape. To this end, there is a need for the creation of single value indices to compare soundscape quality which incorporate context, aural diversity, and specific design goals for a given application. Just as a variety of decibel-based indices have been developed for various purposes (e.g., LAeq, LCeq, L90, Lden, etc.), the soundscape approach requires the ability to create original indices for different uses, which share a common language and understanding. Therefore, a unified framework for creating bespoke and reference single index measures of soundscape perception is proposed, allowing for different metrics to be defined in the future. This framework is based on a four-step test-target paradigm wherein a desired soundscape perception is defined as a target distribution within the soundscape circumplex, and the two-dimensional Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance is used to test an assessed soundscape against this target. Applications and implications of this framework are discussed, and a multi-objective optimisation method for empirically defining perception indices is proposed.

This work explores techniques for accurately modeling the propagation of ultrasound waves in lossy fluid-solid media, such as within transcranial ultrasound, using the spectral-element method. The objectives of this work are twofold, namely, (1) to present a formulation of the coupled viscoacoustic-viscoelastic wave equation for the spectral-element method in order to incorporate attenuation in both fluid and solid regions and (2) to provide an end-to-end workflow for performing spectral-element simulations in transcranial ultrasound. The matrix-free implementation of this high-order finite-element method is very well-suited for performing waveform-based ultrasound simulations for both transcranial imaging and focused ultrasound treatment thanks to its excellent accuracy, flexibility for dealing with complex geometries, and computational efficiency. The ability to explicitly mesh distinct interfaces between regions with high impedance contrasts eliminates staircasing artifacts, which are otherwise non-trivial to mitigate within discretization approaches based on regular grids. This work demonstrates the efficacy of this modeling technique for transcranial ultrasound through a number of numerical examples. While the examples in this work primarily focus on transcranial applications, this type of modeling is equally relevant within other soft tissue-bone systems such as in limb or spine imaging.
