Abstract

The current interior design scope places high demands on acoustic treatment manufacturers. The state of the art does not provide satisfactory material proposals for architects to satisfy design needs. There is a need for a novel approach concerning decorative, recognized materials that adapts them to the acoustic surface properties. The final design proposed in this study presents a modern functional solution with high acoustic properties, which can be produced with sustainable materials such as FSC wood and has a low environmental impact because of its low waste production. This research presents the complete design process of a novel type of wooden acoustic panel. A comprehensive explanation of the scientific development is covered, including basic material testing in an impedance tube, FEM simulations of the initial designs, and final measurements in a reverberation chamber. The solution’s novelty is based on the optimized placement of the perforation holes on the surface of a wooden overlay using a ship deck optimization algorithm. The methods used cover the original solution of mixing FEM modeling of the surface impedance with the application of the Jeong–Thomasson correction for random incidence sound absorption coefficient simulation. The contribution of this research is the development of wooden perforated panels with Class A sound absorption and an overall depth of 90 mm, including the 50 mm depth of the backing material. The discussion will explain the difficulties of working with this material and the need for a combination of the aesthetic and acoustic sides of the project.

TL;DR

The paper develops sustainable perforated wooden acoustic panels with third-degree-of-freedom Bezier-curve front overlays, optimized via a ship-deck arrangement algorithm and simulated with FEM plus the Jeong–Thomasson correction. The final P-A and CM-A panels achieved Class A sound absorption per ISO 11654 with an overall depth of 90 mm, including 50 mm of porous backing.

Key findings

  • P-A and CM-A overlays demonstrated Class A sound absorption according to ISO 11654, while the CM-D overlay exhibited Class D; both P-A and CM-A reached values greater than 1.0 in the mid- and high-frequency ranges in reverberation chamber measurements.
  • FEM optimization concluded that a perforation rate over 25% and hole diameter no less than 6 mm should be attained for practical mid- and high-frequency absorption and potential Class A certification; lower perforation rates with approximately 3 mm holes can operate resonantly but cannot achieve broadband absorption higher than Class E or D.
  • Panels produced using third-degree curves with perforations exhibited slightly better acoustic properties than flat overlays across the measured frequency range; the 3D surface performed worse at low frequencies but improved average absorption significantly in mid- and high-frequency ranges.
  • Replacing 1/3 or 2/3 of perforated overlays with solid overlays reduced sound absorption and shifted the sound absorption class between A, C, and D.

Methods

  • Impedance tube tests followed ISO 10534-2 using a B&K type 4206 tube; 100 mm diameter samples were tested with 50 mm recycled-material-based fiberglass backing (density 50 kg/m³; flow resistivity around 32 kPa·s/m²) across flat and 3D panels with polished or brushed finishes.
  • FEM simulations used COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3 with Delany–Bazley porous modeling, thermoviscous acoustics for viscous loss in holes, averaged surface impedance, and the Jeong–Thomasson correction for random-incidence absorption; the upper frequency available to simulate was 550 Hz for the 500 mm sample, and a 3 × 3.5 m rectangular sample was used for α_size.
  • Perforation placement used a simplified ship deck arrangement algorithm with minimum 5 mm edge distance and 3 mm between hole edges; final panels were measured in a reverberation chamber per ISO 354 (chamber volume 180.4 m³, total surface 193.6 m², sample size 10.4 m², relative humidity 32.3–36.4%, temperature 22.2–23.1 °C).

Limitations

  • The paper states that FEM simulation was limited to an upper frequency of 550 Hz because of the 500 mm sample size, and that only normal incidence was considered before applying the Jeong–Thomasson correction.
  • The paper states that the CM-D panel’s measured absorption differed most from simulation, likely because plate absorber behavior was not included in the modeling; it concludes that lower-perforation-ratio panels require plate absorber mechanisms for precise simulation.
  • The paper states that ISO 354 values greater than 1.0 in mid- and high-frequency ranges can occur due to finite reverberation chamber volume, edge effects, sample surface calculation, and incompletely diffused sound fields; it also notes that multiple simulation patterns were not presented because of the large amount of data. Evident from the text: the authors assumed a flat panel surface for radiation impedance despite the 3D front shape.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • Surface impedance is called normalized but defined without normalization

    Minor

    Equation (6) identifies ZS as normalized surface impedance, while Equation (7) defines it as pressure divided by velocity. With the stated meanings of pressure and velocity, that ratio has impedance units rather than being normalized.

  • 3D panels are described as both better throughout the range and worse at low frequencies

    Minor

    The claim that the 3D panels performed better across the measured frequency range conflicts with the statement that they performed worse in the low-frequency range.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
