Abstract

A two-layer passive/active system to provide broadband absorption, including low frequencies, is described. The passive system consists of a fibrous layer in front of an air layer. Absorption at low frequencies is achieved by an active controller which drives an actuator in the back of the system that minimizes the pressure measured by a sensor in the air layer. The passive/active system is modelled considering plane waves propagating at oblique incidence. The absorbing layer is characterized by empirical equations of the nondimensional parameter En=ρ0f/σn, σn being the flow resistivity, f the frequency, and ρ0 the air density. The model predicts high performance of the hybrid passive-active system for values of R=σn d /Z0 close to 1.2, d being the thickness of the absorbing layer and Z0 the air impedance.
