Abstract:Multiple Fabry-Pérot ( F-P ) resonance structures can be formed by the adjacent cavity and the steel backing in the sound absorption coating embedded with multi-layer elliptical cavity, which significantly reduces its acoustic detectability. In order to achieve high-performance acoustic stealth structure, the F-P resonance mode is changed by changing the cavity shape and azimuth angle, and the anti-acoustic detection performance is enhanced. In this study, the analytical and numerical models of the sound absorption covering layer with three-layer elliptical cavity are established. The effects of the arrangement, size, aspect ratio and azimuth angle of the elliptical cavity on the anti-detection performance of the covering layer are systematically studied. The correctness of the model is verified by the comparison between the analytical results and the numerical results. The results show that when the cavity area is fixed, increasing the long axis of all elliptical cavities will cause the absorption peak frequency to shift to low frequency and the sound absorption coefficient to decrease. Fixed the long axis unchanged, shortening the short axis can regulate the fusion of two adjacent absorption peaks into a broadband high-efficiency absorption peak ; changing the elliptical azimuth only leads to the change of F-P resonance mode, and does not affect the sound absorption results. Therefore, reasonably changing the aspect ratio of the elliptical cavity can enhance the acoustic anti-detection ability of the overburden.
