| ABSTRACT |
|
The objective of this paper is to introduce the noise reduction characteristics of a double gap system, which is composed of two air-gaps and two partition sheets. The resonance of acoustic modes of an enclosed cavity can be effectively suppressed by installing the double gap system in the cavity. It is revealed from a simple, one-dimensional model that the double gap system is more effective than the single gap system that consists of one air-gap and one partition sheet, in that the former requires a smaller space than the latter. Finally, these theoretical conclusions are verified by comparison experiments using an actually manufactured enclosed cavity, of which the boundary surfaces are made of thick panels that can be assumed as rigid walls. |
