1 Performance improvement of soundabsorbing materials using natural bamboo fibers and their application T. Koizumi, N. Tsujiuchi & K. Fujita Department of Mechanical Engineering, Doshisha University, Japan bstract n acoustic material has been newly developed from the viewpoint of environmental protection. For this purpose, we used a natural resource, bamboo fiber, to manufacture soundabsorbing material. Until now, the soundabsorbing material has been developed using the crushed bamboo fibers. This material, however, is too heavy. To solve this problem, we have tried to develop a material using the explosion method. The normal incidence sound absorption coefficient of the bamboo fiber material was measured to be confirmed the basic properties. In addition, the characteristic impedance and the propagation constant of the material were measured. The contour lines of the sound absorption coefficient were calculated to find the relation of thickness and air space of the material with respect to density. In addition, we considered the influence of random incidence, and evaluated the material by adapting it to actual loudspeakers. The results show that the weight problem was solved, that the bamboo wool material works effectively in an actual product. onsequently, fundamental design criteria have been confirmed using the newly developed bamboo fiber material for sound absorption. Keywords: sound absorption coefficient, bamboo wool, fiber diameter, loudspeaker, acoustic property. 1 Introduction coustic materials play a number of roles that are important in acoustic engineering such as the control of room acoustics and traffic noise. coustic materials are divided into three types: porous material, boards, and resonancetype boards. Porous materials are the most effective for noises that occur over a 004 WIT Press, ISN

On the other hand, acoustic material is claimed to have additional benefits, such as energy conservation, the advanced use and the reuse of resources from the viewpoint of earth protection [1]. Health concerns have been raised over glass fibers that become airborne and adhere to the body during building construction. Since glass wool is not the best material in terms of human health and the environment, we have adopted the safer, natural bamboo. ecause it grows so quickly, we can harvest bamboo annually. amboo is effective as a resource because it is natural and easy to dispose of; there is no anxiety over ground pollution even if it is buried in the earth, and it does not emit poisonous fumes when burned. In this paper, an alternative soundabsorbing material is proposed that alleviates the load on the environment. Sound absorption coefficient When the homogeneous layer has the thickness L, the characteristic impedance Z, the propagation constant c γ, and this layer has the acoustic impedance Z in c the back, the acoustic impedance of surface material Z is expressed as: c Z coshγl + Zc sinhγl Z1 = Z c (1) Z sinhγl + Zc coshγl while the sound absorption coefficient is expressed as []: α = 1 ( Z1 / Z air ) ( Z / Z ) 1 air () mplifier Dual channel FFT analyzer Personal computer D x L x L L 0 Z 1 Z Mic.1 Speaker Mic.

3 High Performance Structures and Materials II Measurement method We used the measurement system shown in Figure 1 [3]. random signal was generated from the loudspeaker, and the transfer function H between the two microphones was extracted using a twochannel FFT analyzer. The reflection coefficient and the sound absorption coefficient are expressed as follows, respectively, where k is the wave number for air. jkdk H e j k ( Lk + Dk ) R = e jkd (3) k e H α = 1 R (4) 4 Experimental results and discussions 4.1 amboo wool soundabsorbing material Until now, the soundabsorbing material has developed using the crushed bamboo fibers. In order to obtain a sound absorption effect similar to that of glass wool, however, the bamboo fiber material needs to be about four times as dense as glass wool [4, 5]. To solve this weight problem, we have attempted to develop a novel material using the explosion method. The resulting material is called bamboo wool amboo wool material The fiber was separated from the woody phase using the explosion method, and the very fine fibers, that is the bamboo wool material, were extracted using the home mixer. The thin composite fiber, polyolefin, was used as the binder material. The sheath part of this composite fiber consists of lowmeltingpoint polyethylene, and its core is made of highmeltingpoint polypropylene. This difference between the two melting points allows a shaped fiber form to hold together. fter thoroughly mixing the bamboo wool material and the binder material (10 % wt.), we molded the soundabsorbing material using a metal mold in a hot press machine.

4 464 High Performance Structures and Materials II The sound absorption coefficient was measured by changing the air space depth and the apparent density of the material. Results show that the sound absorption coefficient increases in all frequency ranges and the first peak value of sound absorption coefficient moves from the high to the lowfrequency range as the air space depth of the sample increases or the density of the sample increases. These basic properties of porous soundabsorbing material are confirmed. These results are shown in Figure (a) and (b), respectively omparison with glass wool and bamboo fiber Table 1 gives the results of measurements of the fiber diameters of the bamboo wool, glass wool and the bamboo fiber using a digital microscope. lthough the bamboo wool and glass wool have similar fiber diameters, we can confirm that the bamboo fiber has a fiber diameter over ten times larger. Figure 3 shows a comparison of the sound absorption characteristics of the bamboo wool, glass wool and the bamboo fiber. lso, although the densities of the bamboo wool and glass wool are the same, it is confirmed that the density of the bamboo fiber needs to be about four times as dense as them to have the similar effect. These results are explained by the sound absorption principle of porous material. For rigidframed porous material, this absorption is mainly attributed to thermoelastic damping and viscosity loss generated while the sound propagates through a large number of small air cavities in the material [6]. Of course, the number of the bamboo fibers per unit area can increase when the fiber diameter decreases. In addition, the energy loss increases when the surface friction increases. onsequently, the sound absorption coefficient increases. Table 1: omparison of fiber diameters.

5 High Performance Structures and Materials II 465 Taking the above results, into account, we can solve the weight problem posed by using the bamboo fiber material because we confirmed that the bamboo wool material has a similar sound absorption effect to glass wool haracteristic impedance and propagation constant The characteristic impedance and the propagation constant determine the state of the sound wave [7]. To clarify the acoustic effect in the bamboo wool material, the characteristic impedance and the propagation constant were measured for a material of densities ranging from 0 to 50 kg/m 3. Results indicate that the characteristic impedance and the sound attenuation increase, and the sound velocity decreases, as the density rises. Figure 4: Optimization thickness and air space depth Optimization The sound absorption coefficient was calculated for the thickness and the air space depth of between 0 and 100 mm using the characteristic impedance and the propagation constant. The contour line was expressed as the sound absorption coefficient of averaged frequency between 500 and 4,000 Hz [8]. lthough the sound absorption coefficient increases as the thickness increases, the air space is 004 WIT Press, ISN
6 466 High Performance Structures and Materials II barely influenced at all when the density is between 0 and 40 kg/m 3. lso, the largest domain of sound absorption coefficient of more than 0.9 is obtained, when the density is 40 kg/m 3. However, when the density is 50 kg/m 3, the domain of sound absorption coefficient of more than 0.9 suddenly decreases. This result shows that the optimal density of the bamboo wool material exists between 40 and 50 kg/m 3. These results are illustrated in Figure 4 (a) (d). 4. daptation to product The above evaluations were all based on the normal incidence sound absorption coefficient. However, the soundabsorbing materials are used for cars, buildings and loudspeakers, etc., and the random incidence of sound waves is carried out to the actual material. ecause it is easy to handle, we noticed the loudspeaker. The bamboo wool material was evaluated by adapting it to the loudspeaker. The role of the soundabsorbing material in the loudspeaker is to hold the standing wave inside the box. Three identical loudspeakers (RSM90: Roland) were purchased and designated,, and. Only the inside of the loudspeaker box was changed: with the existing polyester material, without anything and with the bamboo wool material. Three conditions of loudspeaker were tested together with the readymade loudspeakers and, and evaluated each one in relation to its frequency characteristics, phase characteristics, impedance characteristics, distortion characteristics and the cumulative decay spectrum. The distortion characteristic is defined as the ratio between the execution value of the distortion component of an output signal when adding sine waves to the loudspeaker, and the execution value of all output signals. No clear differences were found with respect to phase characteristics, impedance characteristics, or distortion characteristics Frequency characteristic Since the errors by the testday and the individual differences appeared greatly, it was not possible to compare only frequency characteristics results of loudspeaker. Then, the loudspeaker and in which the conditions did not change were noticed. y comparing these, it was confirmed that the individual differences do not change regardless of the testday. Moreover, to simplify the comparison, the average frequency characteristics of loudspeakers and and the frequency characteristics of loudspeaker that removed the individual differences were compared. Results of the second time and the third time are shown in Figure 5 (a) and (b), respectively. Figure 5 (a) shows that the big dips are confirmed to lie within the frequency range of 400 to 700 Hz. These dips are influenced by the soundabsorbing material. Since flat frequency characteristics are better, it is thought that the soundabsorbing material was used to hold these dips. From the Figure 5 (b), it is confirmed that the dips of second time are held. Therefore, the bamboo wool material is confirmed to be effective. 004 WIT Press, ISN

Figure 5: Frequency characteristic. 4.. umulative decay spectrum The cumulative decay spectrum can be obtained from the impulse response. FFT is performed using all data and the values that calculated the frequency response become basis. The data which transposed the waveform data from t = 0 to arbitrary time t = tn to 0 is made. The frequency response in arbitrary time can be obtained by performing FFT using this data. nd it is the cumulative decay spectrum that displayed these values in three dimensions side by side in order [9]. The aspect in the loudspeaker box can be observed using the cumulative decay spectrum. In consideration of the frequency characteristics results, the results are illustrated using the data to 4,000 Hz, those for loudspeaker are shown in Figure 6 (a) (c). Since the characteristics of the green domain do not change regardless of individual differences and the errors by the testday, the green domain was noticed. Under the condition without the soundabsorbing material, a large green domain can be observed, therefore this result shows the sound inside the box remained there for a long time. ompared with this result, for the bamboo wool material, a small green domain can be observed. Therefore the bamboo wool material was confirmed to be effective. Taking the above results, we confirmed that the bamboo wool material works effectively in an actual product.

8 468 High Performance Structures and Materials II 4..3 Tone quality evaluation Since no clear differences in the physical characteristics between the polyester material and the bamboo wool material could be confirmed from the loudspeaker tests, tone quality evaluation was performed by the onepair comparing method [10]. For four stimulus sounds: base, drums, Japanese flute (Shinobue) and male s English narration, the subject evaluated seven adjectives: clearcut, delicate, deep, soft, metallic, powerful and desirability. Here, the evaluation gave in nine categories to +4 to 4 about all adjectives for every stimulus. It conducted one experiment at a time in the listening room. Subjects are nine 1 yearold men who are experienced in music. The result of the analysis of variance is shown in Table. From Table, in all except desirability, 5% significance is confirmed in the main effect. Therefore, it is shown that the differences are in the tone quality between the loudspeakers. Then, since the tone quality difference between loudspeakers was specified, the confidence interval about adjectives other than desirability was calculated. Results are shown in Table 3 (a)(f). From Table 3 (a)(f), since zero is not included in the confidence interval in the adjective of soft, metallic powerful, we confirmed that there is no significant at the loudspeakers, and there is the significant at the loudspeakers and. Therefore, by adapting the loudspeaker to the bamboo wool material, it shows that metallic and powerful tone quality can be obtained although there is no soft tone quality. In addition, by seeing the parameter estimator of Table 3 (a)(f), the loudspeaker has clearcut tone quality and it is confirmed that there is no deep tone quality. Moreover, from the analysis of variance results, since there is no significant about "desirability", it cannot necessarily be said that the bamboo wool material improves tone quality. However, it is possible that the bamboo wool soundabsorbing material sufficiently adapted for the loudspeaker, and in respect of the loudspeaker used by this sturdy, the result of clearing the tone quality was obtained.
