Article Abstract
Transformer noise is dominated by low frequency components, which are hard to be controlled with traditional noise control approaches. The shunt loudspeaker consisting of a closed-box loudspeaker and a shunt circuit has been proposed as an effective sound absorber by storing and dissipating the electrical energy converted from the incident sound. In this paper, an array of shunt loudspeakers is proposed to control the 100 Hz and 200 Hz components of transformer noise. The prototype under tests has a thickness of 11.8 cm, which is only 1/28 of the wavelength of 100 Hz. The sound absorption performance of the array under random incidence is analyzed with the parallel impedance method, and the arrangement of array elements is optimized. The test results in a reverberation room show that the proposed array has sound absorption coefficients of 1.04 and 0.93 at 100 Hz and 200 Hz, respectively, which provides potential of applying this type of thin absorbers for low-frequency sound control.

Using leaf fibers from pineapple (PALFs) as a model dual-purpose plant, we deliberately explore the effect of bio- and semibiobased treatment using xylanase, cellulase, and a mixture of pectinase and amylase. We assess these treatments for their potential to selectively and precisely remove lignocellulosic components. Additionally, we examine how they modify the relative content of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, as these are key factors affecting the physical appearance, dimensional structures, and mechanical integrity.

This work presents a data-driven approach to estimating the sound absorption coefficient of an infinite porous slab using a neural network and a two-microphone measurement on a finite porous sample. A one-dimensional-convolutional network predicts the sound absorption coefficient from the complex-valued transfer function between the sound pressure measured at the two microphone positions. The network is trained and validated with numerical data generated by a boundary element model using the Delany-Bazley-Miki model, demonstrating accurate predictions for various numerical samples.

As modern industry continues to advance, noise pollution is becoming increasingly severe, posing a significant threat to the global economy and human health. Given their porous structure and lightweight properties, aerogels exhibit substantial potential in the field of acoustics. Concurrently, the use of environmentally-friendly, biodegradable materials such as chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) not only helps address environmental challenges but also contributes to reducing pollution.

This study investigates the use of a local fiber, specifically milkweed that grows in Quebec, Canada, for nonwoven building applications. Milkweed is a natural fiber with an ultra-lightweight hollow structure that provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties. To provide three-dimensional stability to nonwovens, milkweed fibers were blended with a low-melt fiber composed of a polyethylene terephthalate core and a polyolefin sheath (LM 2.

Superfluid helium is a prototypical quantum liquid. As such, it has been a prominent platform for the study of quantum many body physics. More recently, the outstanding mechanical and optical properties of superfluid helium, such as low mechanical dissipation and low optical absorption, have positioned superfluid helium as a promising material platform in applications ranging from dark matter and gravitational wave detection to quantum computation.
