Identification of Acoustic Modeling Parameters
- Calculates the mean and standard deviation of the data set.
- Corrects tube and measurement conditions (temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity).
- The user can provide parameters to improve convergence (density, resistivity, porosity, tortuosity and other parameters).
- Identification according to three types of skeleton (rigid, flexible or elastic).
- Identification over a range of frequencies (min, max).
Display, Simulation and Sensitivity Analysis
- Validation of the parameters obtained by comparison of simulations using analytical or numerical poroelastic models (finite elements) with impedance/transmission tube measurements.
- Plots both predicted and measured data (if available) of:
- Simulates the effects of boundary conditions and lateral acoustic leakage in tubes by the axisymetric finite element method (axiFEM).
- Predicts all the acoustic properties in the case of excitation by a plane wave of normal incidence such as: absorption coefficient, attenuation index, surface and characteristic impedance, number of complex wave, effective dynamic density and effective bulk modulus.
- Takes into account:
Database
- Retains materials identified by FOAM-X or your own method.
- Searches for materials according to different criteria (e.g. price, porosity, resistivity to the passage of air, thickness, etc.)
- Compares two materials.
