Abstract
The acoustic characterization of innovative materials is widely documented in the literature; however, it poses significant challenges for traditional methods, which often require large-scale samples. For metamaterials, this requirement results in high prototyping costs when using additive manufacturing. This thesis work is dedicated to characterizing the acoustic absorption of a labyrinthine metamaterial panel. The design of the panel is based on the integration of space-coiling unit cells of various dimensions, specifically engineered to increase the effective path of the sound wave and maximize acoustic energy dissipation into heat within the channels. The material response was investigated through an experimental measurement campaign in anechoic chambers at two different laboratories (KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and Politecnico di Torino), adopting the two-microphone in situ measurement method to determine the absorption coefficient under specific incidence conditions.
To ensure data consistency, the experimental phase was supported by a two-level validation protocol: •??Analytical Modeling: A model was developed based on Stinson’s approximation for propagation in narrow ducts, integrated with the Johnson-Champoux-Allard (JCA) semi-phenomenological model to describe the viscous and thermal behavior of the medium; •??Numerical Simulation: Finite Element Method (FEM) analyses were performed to map the acoustic field and confirm the resonance frequencies predicted during the design phase
