Rectangular SCs consistently obtained highest transmission loss for frequencies ranging from 300 Hz to 3000 Hz compared to diamond and semi-circle SCs. Fully staggered pattern performed better than non-staggered and 50% staggered patterns for frequencies below 1700 Hz. Helmholtz resonators were useful for enhancing low frequency noise mitigation. The prototype of the final designed SC window was fabricated and tested in order to validate the simulation result. Generally, numerical and experimental results were in similar trends. Maximum transmission loss of the SC window was found to be occurred at 900 Hz which was about 18 dB. © JVE INTERNATIONAL LTD. | Source Title: | Journal of Vibroengineering | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/179262 | ISSN: | 1392-8716 | DOI: | 10.21595/jve.2017.17770 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
