3D Single-port Labyrinthine Acoustic Metamaterial

In this paper, we report on the design, fabrication, and experimental characterization of a 3D single-port labyrinthine acoustic metamaterial. By using curled perforations with one end closed and with appropriate loss inside, the proposed metamaterial can perfectly absorb airborne sounds in a low frequency band. Both the position and width of the band can be tuned flexibly. A tradeoff is uncovered between the relative absorption bandwidth and thickness of the metamaterial. When the relative absorption bandwidth is as high as 51%, the requirement of deep subwavelength thickness (0.07λ) can still be satisfied.
