A note on the prediction method of reverberation absorption coefficient of double layer micro-perforated membrane

The absorption performance of micro-perforated absorber (MPA) has been usually estimated by equivalent circuit (EC), however, it has been noted that the predicted absorption coefficient by EC does not agree completely with the experiment in some frequency range. Hence impedance transfer method (ITM) is adopted to predict the reverberation absorption coefficient of a double layer micro-perforated membrane (MPM) structure. Experimental studies show that the prediction of ITM is better than that of EC.
