Design of a Kelvin Cell Acoustic Metamaterial

• Advancements in 3D print technology now allows the printing of structured acoustic absorbent materials at appropriate microscopic scale and sample sizes. Optimisation of parameter sets associated with a Kelvin Cell structure have the potential to develop various metabehaviours in the associated acoustic responses. The repeatability of the fundamental cell unit also provide a route for the development of viable macro models to simulate built up structures based on detailed models of the individual cell units. This paper describes a process to model, print and test of such a sample. Manufacturing restraints will initially guide the optimised design. Micro to macro models based on a single cell structure which are cross checked against a full visco thermal acoustic finite element model of the individual cell. A macro model based on a reduced lossy helmholtz system is then used to predict the absorptive response response under normal incidence and checked against a manufactured sample under experimental test.
