Research on Acoustic Properties of Laminated Aluminum Foam Panels

In view of the increasingly prominent noise problem, more and more attention has been paid to the research of sound insulation materials and structures. This paper takes aluminum foam laminated structural plate as the research object. The numerical model of sound insulation was derived using equivalent parameter method, and the sound insulation performance of aluminum foam composite structural plate was tested using a standing wave tube. The experimental results show that the transfer loss of aluminum foam composite structure with 5 mm and 10 mm core layer thickness is increased by 10 dB and 17 dB on average compared with ordinary base aluminum plate. The calculated results of transfer loss in effective range are in good agreement with the experimental results. The error is only 2–5 dB at low frequencies. At the high-frequency stage, although the error increases slightly, the overall trend of the two changes is consistent. The degree of coincidence increases with the increase of frequency. It provides an important theoretical basis for the research direction of sound insulation theoretical model of aluminum foam laminated structure, and also lays a foundation for the optimization of subsequent mathematical model.
