Résumé
The area-averaged effective sound absorption coefficient (SAC) of a rigid-backed homogeneous porous material subjected to a monopole excitation is calculated as the absorbed-to-incident sound power ratio. Using Allard's model to describe the sound propagation above the porous material, an analytical model for this power-based SAC is proposed and proves to give a good approximation of the sound absorption performance under monopole excitation of sufficiently large areas of material. The impact of factors on the power-based SAC, such as monopole height, material radial dimension used to calculate the sound powers, and material properties is discussed. The power-based SAC frequency-dependent behavior is analyzed through sound intensity field assessments at the material surface and is compared to normal incident plane wave and diffuse field SACs. The sound absorption behavior of sound absorbers under monopole excitation exhibits notable distinctions and peculiar results compared to those observed under plane wave and diffuse fields, particularly at low frequencies and for sources close to the material. © 2024 Acoustical Society of America.
