Optimal design of acoustic metamaterials for noise suppression by the frequency division in military equipment by Shaohua Bi, Fei Yang, Xinmin Shen, Wenqiang Peng, Xiaocui Yang, Qin Yin, Xiaonan Zhang, Heng Zhang, Dong Wang, Jingguo Chen, Zhiming Li

“…This paper presents a multi-Helmholtz unit series–parallel acoustic metamaterial with a segmented noise control effect designed by taking advantage of the adjustable frequency band of an acoustic metamaterial, aiming to change the main noise spectrum characteristics under different driving conditions of military equipment such as tanks. Based on the transfer matrix method, a theoretical model that can predict the acoustic characteristics of a hybrid structure with multiple Helmholtz resonator (HR) units is established, and its feasibility is verified through finite element simulations and experiments. …”
