Abstract
This study is the first to investigate the effect of chaotic vibration on the sound absorption of a curved perforated panel. Previous studies on the effect of nonlinear vibration on the sound absorption of a panel absorber have focused on periodic responses only. In this study, a sound absorption formula was derived by considering the panel impedance and perforation impedance. The numerical integration method was adopted to generate various chaotic vibrational responses, which were used to compute the corresponding sound absorptions. Several interesting findings that have never been observed in any previous studies on acoustic absorption were derived. First, in the chaotic and highly nonlinear cases, as the excitation frequency increased, the corresponding response frequencies decreased. This was opposite to the typical trend in linear cases, in which higher excitation frequencies corresponded to higher response frequencies. Second, in chaotic cases, absorption mainly occurred due to panel vibration effects. This is also in stark contrast to the findings of studies on perforated vibrating panels, in which the absorption effect mainly originates from perforations. Additionally, the absorption bandwidths are much wider and can shift to higher frequencies; however, the peak absorption coefficients were approximately 20% lower than in the case of the perforation effect only. Third, in the quasi-chaotic case, the absorption curve in the case of the perforation effect plus the vibration effect was between the absorption curves of the perforation effect only and the perforation effect plus the vibration effect.
