Acoustic Improvements of Aircraft Headrests Based on Electrospun Mats Evaluated Through Boundary Element Method

Abstract: This work illustrates the development of passive noise control (PNC) improvements of aircraft headrests to enhance the acoustic comfort for passengers. Two PNC improvements were studied with the aim of reducing the noise perceived by passengers during flight. Two headrest configurations, with and without the lateral caps, and two different materials, a traditional foam and an innovative Silica/Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) woven non-woven mat, were considered, and compared in terms of sound pressure level (SPL) p… Show more

“…Electrospun micro/nanofibers possess many advantages, such as small diameter, light weight, high specific surface area, and porosity. The sound absorption materials made of electrospun micro/nanofibers are promising for noise reduction, especially in traffic [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. The sound absorption mechanism of electrospun micro/nanofibers is complex, and their sound absorption performance is mainly affected by several factors: material, morphology, thickness, spatial structure, and cavity depth.…”

“…Noise control methods mainly include passive and active control strategies [1][2][3]. Passive noise control improves ambient acoustic performance by absorbing materials and changing the shape of the structure in conjunction with the environment [4]. These methods have an obvious effect on reducing the middle-and high-frequency noise in the environment.…”
