Novel Design Scheme for Structural Fundamental Frequency of Porous Acoustic Metamaterials

Abstract

Structural resonance increases the vibration and noise of porous acoustic metamaterials while reducing the energy consumption and conversion efficiency of acoustic waves. Therefore, structural fundamental frequency of porous acoustic metamaterials is required to be controlled to avoid resonance. This study proposes a full-cycle interactive progressive (FIP) design scheme for porous acoustic metamaterials. The FIP design scheme first establishes a specific parameter relationship for the initial model based on the intentions of the designers. The initial model is then dynamically adjusted through a series of optimization processes. In particular, the FIP design scheme is developed for a porous acoustic metamaterial in an acoustic-structure interaction system. The effects of the structural parameters and applied boundary conditions of the porous acoustic metamaterial on the structural fundamental frequency are investigated. A surrogate model is introduced to reduce the calculation costs and improve the design efficiency of the parametric optimization. The frequency-modulation acoustic metamaterial is tailored to improve its acoustic and vibrational characteristics, including the resonance resistance and low dynamic response. The features of the FIP design scheme in the optimized design of porous acoustic metamaterials are demonstrated.
