Abstract

Acoustic performances of the steel-wire fabrics manufactured from the crushed tires were experimentally investigated for various thicknesses and bulk densities. The well- known two-cavity method was used to measure the characteristic impedances, the propagation constants, and the absorption coefficients. The normal absorption coefficients measured by the two-cavity method agreed well with those measured by the two-microphone impedance tube method. The experimental results showed that the magnitude and frequency range of the absorption coefficient were controllable by changing the thickness and the bulk density of the steel-wire fabrics. Therefore, the steel-wire fabrics from the crushed tires can be successfully used as a good sound absorbing material.
