The development of new absorbing materials and the description of their acoustical properties take an important place in the current acoustical researches. This paper focuses on the identification of the admittance coefficient of sound absorbing material from in situ measurements, using the constitutive relation error (CRE)-based updating technique. This technique consists of a two-stage approach, allowing to regularize the inverse problem. Moreover, the technique allows the detection of faulty sensors and therefore the correction of the erroneous measurements before the updating process. The technique is developed, in a first part of this paper, for acoustical problems with generalized boundary conditions, and illustrated, in a second part, on a numerical and a physical two-dimensional (2D) test case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
