Abstract

The classical theory of acoustic black holes (ABHs) is quite complex with its application being limited to simple plates and beams. The aim of this paper is to promote ABHs for the community of engineers well familiar with finite element analysis (FEA). Firstly, a validation of FEA as a tool to analyze and design ABHs is done by conventional FE studies replicating experiments, which have already been conducted. Then the concept of modal analysis-based design of ABH is proposed and verified by means of harmonic analysis (both using standard ANSYS software). As the damping layer is an essential part of any real fabricated products utilizing the ABH effect, the influence of its size and thickness are studied by the means of FEM and compared to what has been found in earlier experiments.
