Duct Noise Control by Using Very Light Composite Plate

Article Preview

Abstract:

A compact flow-through plate silencer is constructed for low frequency noise control by using new reinforced composite plates. The concept comes from the previous theoretical study [1] that in a duct, a clamped supported plate covered with a rigid cavites. The structural property of the very light plate with high bending stiffness is very crucial element in such plate silencer. In this study, an approach to fabricate new reinforced composite panel with light weight and high bending stiffness is developed in order to realize the function of this plate silencer practically. The performance of two plate silencer with the stopband from 229 to 618Hz in which the transmission loss is higher than 10 dB over the whole frequency band can be achieved.
