## Results are presented of an investigation into the acoustical properties of a range of fibrous absorbent materials. Measured values of characteristic impedance and propagation coefficient are shown to normalise as a function of frequency divided by flow-resistance and can be represented by simple

โฆ Synopsis
ABSTRA CT
The acoustic behaviour of fibrous materials which depends upon physical structural parameters has been investigated experimentally. Numerous values of characteristic impedance and propagation constant have been determined for materials having different fibre diameter and density. For quantitative estimation of acoustic energy losses in media a term equal to the real part of the characteristic impedance has been introduced as a 'structural characteristic'. From comparative analyses of experimental results and taking into account the viscous boundary layer thickness present in Rayleigh's theory an empirical expression of structural characteristic has been derived as a function of porosity and fibre diameter. Empirical relationships between acoustic parameters and structural characteristic have been obtained also. This model can be used to predict values of the sound absorption coefficient.

Although many measurements have been made of the propagation of sound over grassland, there are relatively few data over cultivated surfaces. The propagation of sound over an absorbing surface is in#uenced by the impedance of the surface and the locations of the source and the receiver. A reduction
## Abstract It is well known that the glass transition temperature of polydimethylsiloxane elastomers lies close to โ120ยฐC. According to the time temperature superposition principle, we may state that these materials keep their caoutchoutic state when they are excited by a 10 MHz mechanical wave. T
