“…The last method is an alternative to conventional designs of absorbers that has received increasing attention in the last years; among others, Ryan [3], Ryan et al [4], Summerer et al [5], Venegas et al [6,7], Arzoz et al [8], Warnakulasuriya and Worek [9,10], Palacios et al [11,12], Acosta-Iborra et al [13], Gutiérrez [14], Zacarías [15] and Ventas [16].
