description | Newly emerged acoustic barriers provide effective solutions for noise reductions of varied kinds in which acoustic barriers made of Fano resonance-based space-coiling metamaterial are reported to have promising application prospects for their broadband noise reduction ability and good ventilation performance. However, current Fano resonance-based acoustic ventilation barriers are hard to practically apply since most of them are difficult to manufacture or install. To this end, this research proposes a novel acoustic ventilation barrier based on block-shaped space-coiling metamaterial, which is not only as functional as other acoustic ventilation barriers but also easy to manufacture and install. To obtain a more in-depth understanding of the noise reduction effect, the influence of the design parameters on transmission loss is numerically studied. Additionally, we conduct both numerical and experimental studies on the transmission loss and the ventilation performance of a full-scale meta-unit. Furthermore, through the corresponding optimization process, the proposed acoustic ventilation barrier can have transmission loss consistently above 10 dB across the frequency range of 495~1063 Hz. Lastly, a composite ventilation acoustic barrier obtained by stacking two layers of different proposed metamaterials is presented, which achieves multiband noise reduction performance across the ultra-broad frequency range of 479~1758 Hz. |
