Abstract
Acoustic lagging, which is often applied to the vibrating surfaces of machines, ducts and pipes to inhibit the transmission of the sound radiated from these surfaces, is composed of layers of porous materials, air spaces and impervious barriers. Often the impervious barriers are flexurally orthotropic. It is common, for example, to corrugate the cladding sheet of a lagging structure, particularly when the lagging is applied to extensive flat surfaces such as the walls of a large rectangular cross-section duct. A procedure for calculating the insertion loss produced by a lagging structure which incorporates flexurally orthotropic impervious barriers is described. The procedure is based on the successive application of expressions which relate the surface or wave impedances and the acoustic pressures across the elements of the lagging structure. The impedance and pressure expressions for these elements can be assembled so that the insertion loss produced by any lagging structure of this type can be predicted. The results of the application of this procedure to predicting the insertion losses produced by some representative lagging structures are given and are compared with measured results.
