“…However, when present, the half open pores where considered open. This measurement method is in good agreement with the one used by Zhang et al 6 . Due to its very short depth of field, the optical microscopy is unable to capture all the open and closed pores (see Fig.…”

Straightforward semi-phenomenological models have been developed for highly porous polyurethane foams to predict the macroscopic nonacoustic parameters involved in the classical Johnson-Champoux-Allard model (i.e., porosity, airflow resistivity...) from microstructure properties (i.e, strut length, strut thickness and reticulation rate). These microstructure properties are measured using sophisticated optical methods (i.e., optical microscope, SEM) and a large variability can be observed due to great complexity of the 3D microstructure; variability which also depends on the precision of the measurement device. This work investigates how the variability associated with the model inputs affects the model outputs (i.e., non-acoustic parameters, surface impedance and sound absorption coefficient). The sensitivity analysis is based on the Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test (FAST). It helps quantify the correlation between the input parameters and identify the parameters contributing the most to output variability, thus requiring precise measurement. This study illustrates the preponderant impact of the reticulation rate (i.e, open pore content) on acoustic performances and guides the user on the required optical measurement device.

“…Kim et al [39], also observed an improvement of the tensile strength for electrospun nanofibrous mats by addition of fly ash particles. The increase of the compressive strength and modulus of HPU composites resulted from the higher-density and smaller cell size [40]. These results show that the density of porous composites affects their mechanical strength, where a small maximal load deflection of Foam1 ( Table 2).…”
