RESUMO

The control of transmission loss through panels is a problem that has attracted the attention of automotive, aeronautical and aerospace industries. The passive noise control strategies used for this purposed does not have high efficiency in all audible spectrum, although it consists in a robust solution, it is not effective in low frequency absorb (below 1kHz). This work presents the development of an acoustic insulator prototype that combines traditional passive noise control elements (porous materials, melamine foam more specifically) with active noise elements (piezoelectric transducer driven by a convenient electric signal) to complement the sound absorbing in low frequencies. As the transmission loss measuring cannot be performed instantaneously, this study also presents a computational simulation showing the possibility of actuating actively in other acoustical quantities to obtain the indirect control of the sound transmission loss. The active control algorithm used in this research is the normalized Filtered-X LMS, implemented in time and frequency domains. After verification of the effectiveness of this controller in the simulation, a plane wave duct was built for testing and development of the proposed isolator. Finally, the prototype was applied to a reinforced panel placed in a window that divides two acoustic chambers (anechoic and reverberant) to measure the sound transmission loss of the assembly. The results showed an increase in the low frequency transmission loss when the isolator was tested in the plane wave duct. The tests with the reinforced plate did not show conclusive results
