Popis: Well-designed thin lightweight fabrics can effectively replace bulky porous materials traditionally used in sound absorption. In this paper, a method based on Johnson-Champoux-Allard (JCA) model and multiple regression is proposed to predict the sound absorption effect of woven fabrics. Detailed 3D geometric models are built for a set of woven samples. Multiple regression method is conducted to obtain the empirical formulae of the parameters required by the JCA model, such as geometric tortuosity, flow resistivity, and porosity. Experimental results from the impedance tube test agree well with the numerical predictions.
