This paper describes the theoretical prediction, simulation research, and experimental verification conducted to understand the potential of finite cylindrical micro-perforated panel absorbers (FC-MPPAs) in noise control. The simplified Rayleigh integral method is extended to predict the dissipation of sound energy in cylindrical micro-perforations with sub-millimeter aperture. The sound absorption and insulation performance of a FC-MPPA and the influence of its structural parameters on its acoustic performance were studied by model simulation and experiment, and the directional distribution of the sound field was revealed. The simulation and experimental results show that the FC-MPPA has unique acoustic characteristics different from the panel-type absorber, and its structural parameters are closely related to the acoustic-energy dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the absorption coefficient of FC-MPPA is a function of the incidence angle and frequency of the sound wave, and its acoustic properties are controlled by the coupling between the micro-perforated panel and the acoustic modes in the annular cavity domain. These studies can provide help in the design and application of FC-MPPA to achieve better noise reduction effect.

In the present study, the sound absorption performance of inhomogeneous Micro-Perforated Panels (MPPs) with multiple cavities is investigated. Two models, a three-cavity system and a four-cavity system, are proposed and a numerical study is performed using MATLAB. The models are validated through experimental analysis in an impedance tube.

Micro-perforated panel (MPP) absorbers exhibit multiple resonance bands with increased bandwidth narrowing and shifting in higher frequencies, limiting their effectiveness. This study investigates the effects of narrowing and shifting in higher-order resonance bands of MPP absorbers. First, an acoustic impedance model for MPP absorbers is introduced, and the narrowing and shifting coefficients are defined and modeled to quantify these effects.

Micro-perforated panel sound absorbers are widely used in noise control applications in the fields of architectural acoustics and transport acoustics. Combining micro-perforated panels with other resonant or sound absorbing systems may broaden the frequency range in which they absorb sound while ensuring that large sound absorption values are reached. In this work, a hybrid sound absorber that combines a micro-perforated panel and a coiled quarter wavelength tube is proposed.

This paper proposes a subwavelength hierarchical honeycomb structure (SHHS) with a compact lateral dimension and double-band perfect absorption in low frequencies. Unlike the conventional micro-perforated panel (MPP)-honeycomb sandwich absorber, this structure has an additional internal honeycomb with a perforated wall. Therefore, there are two resonant cavities in the SHHS to realize multiple absorption peaks.

Acoustic deficiencies due to lack of absorption in indoor spaces may sometime render significant buildings unfit for their purpose, especially the ones used as speech auditoria. This study investigates the potential of designing wideband acoustic absorbers composed of parallel-arranged micro-perforated panels (MPPs), known as efficient absorbers that do not need any other fibrous/porous material to have a high absorptive performance. It aims to integrate architectural trends such as transparency and the use of raw materials with acoustical constraints to ensure optimal indoor acoustic conditions.
