In this study, we use 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 scale zig-zag shape acoustic metamaterial structure to achieve broad and effective sound blocking at the subwavelength scale. The SPL(Sound Pressure Level) results show that the SPL loss of the scaled metamaterial slab in series is a superposition of individual SPL losses. Also, we show that the metamaterial tailors the material properties to achieve high impedance and high refractive index using effective medium theory. Our results show that broad and effective sound blocking is possible at the subwavelength scale just by scaling acoustic metamaterial.

In this paper, we design an acoustic meta-material silencer that operates at low frequency to reduce noise in duct. A high refractive index meta-material silencer is demonstrated with a combination of zigzag structured thin waveguide and helmholtz resonator, which reduces the speed of sound. Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis via thermo-viscous acoustic mesh is performed in order to calculate thermo-viscous dissipation in sub-wavelength waveguide. Sound power reflection, transmission and absorption coefficients are obtained utilizing 4-Microphone Method. The results show that cut-off frequency and transmission loss can be controlled through adjusting intervals of the zigzag structures. A wide-band acoustic silencer is also suggested by connecting meta-materials in series or parallel.

As an additive manufacturing achieves technological advances, it enables to manufacture complex structures with saving a cost and time. Therefore, metamaterials, which has geometric complexity, have gradually gathered attention due to the unprecedented properties: the unprecedented mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic, and optical properties. The metamaterials could exhibit a high potential in engineering applications, and thus it has been steadily investigated to design or/and develop novel metamaterials. Here, mechanical metamaterials, which had been reported, were reviewed to suggest the way to design and fabricate the metamaterials for industrial applications.

In this study, we investigate the echo reduction performance of miniaturinzed Helmholtz resonators using smaller than wavelength acoustic metamaterial structures. The Helmholtz resonators are formed using air structures which exhibit large impedance mismatch with the surrounding underwater environment. Using the multi-physics software package, we find that significant reduction in the sonar signature is expected and frequency tailoring is possible by controlling the degree of space coiling and inner volume of the resonators. We find that for the basic Helmholtz resonators, up to 7 dB reduction in echo is expected at 10,000 Hz while when the miniaturized Helmoholtz resonators are used, up to 14 dB reduction in echo is expected at 5,000 Hz. In addition, frequency tailoring is demonstrated by varying the internal volume of the Helmholtz resonators and broadband characteristic is shown using superposition of various degree of space coiled structures. Through this study we investigate the effectiveness of the miniaturized Helmholtz resonators formed using air structures and the echo reduction results show promisses in the application of achieving underwater stealth.

The wave propagation characteristics of an acoustic metamaterial composed of periodically repeated one-dimensional Helmholtz resonator array was investigated considering the effects of dimensional changes of the resonator geometry on the transmission coefficient and band gap. The effective impedance and transmission coefficient of the acoustic metamaterials are obtained based on the acoustic transmission line method. The designed acoustic metamaterials exhibit band gaps and negative bulk modulus that are non-existent properties in the nature. The band gap of the acoustic metamaterial is strongly dependent on the geometry parameters of Helmholtz resonators and lattice spacing. Also, a new type of metamaterial that is periodically constructed with two different resonators was designed to open the local resonance band gap without change of Bragg scattering.

PVDF 고분자 압전 초츰파 변환기를 이용하여 초음파 비선형 파라케타 B/A 측정 시스템을 제작하였다. 이 측정 시스템은 종래의 비선형 파라메타 B/A측정 시스템에 있어 문제점이었던 장치의 복잡성을 대폭 간랸화할 수있으며 고차 고조파까지도 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 장치를 이용하여 여러 가지 물질에 대한 B/A를 측정한 결과 다른 문헌치와 잘 일치하였다.
