Abstract

A sound absorbing device includes a panel with an opening, a duct extending from the panel and in fluid communication with the opening, and a plurality of acoustic resonators embedded in the panel and in fluid communication with the duct. The duct can have a rectangular cuboid shape and the plurality of acoustic resonators can include a first subset of quarter-wavelength tubes extending from a first planar side of the duct, a second subset of quarter-wavelength tubes extending from a second planar side of the duct, a third subset of quarter-wavelength tubes extending from a third planar side of the duct, and a fourth subset of quarter-wavelength tubes extending from a fourth planar side of the duct. Also, the second subset of quarter-wavelength tubes and the fourth subset of quarter-wavelength tubes can have mirror symmetry with the first subset of quarter-wavelength tubes and the third subset of quarter-wavelength tubes, respectively.
