Abstract
Vibroacoustic metamaterials (VAMM) have the potential to reduce unwanted noise components in a very targeted and narrow-band frequency range. Many VAMM concepts are based on mechanical resonators that act as vibration absorbers in their natural frequency and thus absorb energy that
would otherwise be radiated in the form of airborne sound and perceived as noise. Often, during the design phase, it is not yet possible to adequately assess which surfaces will be acoustically problematic and in which frequency ranges disturbing noise components are going to be. In addition,
many VAMM concepts can only be manufactured using additive manufacturing (AM) processes, due to their complex geometry. However, AM parts often have strongly anisotropic material behavior, depending on the manufacturing process, which makes a prediction of the vibroacoustic behavior even more
difficult. Direct integration into casing structures during the design phase is therefore not practical and economically feasible in most cases. This paper therefore investigates the extent to which retrofitted resonators can be effectively used in existing casing structures. For this purpose,
FDM-printed bending resonators made of ABS and PLA are used, which have already been measured with regard to their natural frequencies in a previous publication. Different variants are attached to a demonstrator housing and the surface vibration velocity is measured using a 3D laser scanning
vibrometer, and compared with the basic variant without resonators. The radiated airborne sound is also measured. Furthermore, a comparison is made with a dynamic FEM simulation in order to be able to evaluate its prediction quality, in particular with regard to the additively manufactured
resonators.
