Enhanced sound insulation in double wall structures via MAMs: An RBF-based optimisation approach by Jie Zhang, Dan Yao, Wang Peng, Jiang Li, Shaoyun Guo

“…Third, the origins of newly induced sound insulation valleys caused by the incorporation of MAMs into the double-wall structure are analysed, and a comparative analysis is conducted on the sound insulation characteristics of finite-sized structures and their periodic infinite counterparts with different unit cell arrays. The results show that the use of MAMs as core layers can effectively improve the sound insulation valleys by 40.3 dB and 14.1 dB of the double wall. …”
