ABSTRACT
The noise control at multiple tonal frequencies simultaneously, in the low frequency range, is a
challenge for aerospace, ground transportation and building industries. In the past few decades,
various low frequency noise control solutions, based on acoustic metamaterials designs, have
been presented in the literature. The proposed technologies showed promising acoustic
performances and are considered as better solutions when compared to conventional sound
insulation materials. Previously, presented approaches combining layered porous materials
with embedded Helmholtz resonators have shown interesting potential when tuned at multitonal frequencies. In the extension of these previous works, this article proposes a metamaterial

consisting of a structured Helmholtz (HR) resonator integrated in a glass wool matrix to
improve sound transmission loss (STL), and simultaneously control noise at several tonal
frequencies. The HR is a cylindrical cavity with an internal structured neck. The structured
neck consists of a main cylindrical pore supporting periodic cavities along its axis. The
analytical modeling of the proposed metamaterial uses the transfer matrix method (TMM) in
series and in parallel. The present investigation shows that this type of metamaterial makes it
possible to control multitone noise and to shift transmission loss peaks towards low frequencies.
It was observed that the STL calculated using the developed TMM approach was in good
agreement with that resulting from a modeling by the finite element method (FEM).
1. INTRODUCTION
Along with all the technological, operational and regulatory barriers, Unmanned Aerial System
(UAS) Noise generation has been identified as a significant factor limiting the widespread adoption
of UAS systems, particularly within densely populated regions. Understanding and mitigating the
acoustic emissions from UAS systems poses a significant challenge due to their unconventional
vehicle layout with multiple propulsions units combined with their operation in reverberant urban
environments at high thrust levels.
One of the main sources of noise from Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is tonal noise. This noise
comprises noise components of the interaction of the rotors with the stators (the fixed walls like the
shoulder supports), known as the blade passing noise and the engine noise [1-3]. Several methods of
tonal noise reduction are available in the literature. Noise attenuation can be achieved at the source
by proper design of the propeller blades and / or support (Stator) [4-6]. This approach requires very
advanced knowledge in the design of turbomachines and is often very expensive in terms of
computation time and numerical implementation effort. Another approach which is increasingly
being used is that of reduction during the propagation of noise in space. A common practice for early
aircraft engines is to shroud the rotors within a duct lined with an acoustic treatment or acoustic liner.
The latter practice has the advantage of improving both aerodynamic [7, 8] and aeroacoustics
performance [9-11]. Acoustic liner could be very effective in reducing the tonal noise generated by
the propeller and engine. But the conventional acoustic liner requires additional weight and
installation space which represents a critical challenge to attain on the UAS platform. One of the
promising paths is the coupling between conventional porous absorbers or membrane and resonators
(acoustic metamaterials). The research on acoustic insulation metamaterials is relatively recent. Beck
et al. [12, 13] have designed an acoustic metamaterial with an array of Helmholtz resonators
separated by quarter-wave volumes. The results indicated that normal incidence absorption
coefficient of this liner was more than 10 times larger compared with conventional honeycomb liner
at the designed Helmholtz resonance frequency. Auregan et al. [14, 15] presented a thin subwavelength metamaterial embedded in an airflow channel. The material used was made of a series of
thin rectangular tubes mounted in parallel on the inner surface of the airflow channel. They showed
that this optimized material gives a significant attenuation at low frequencies. This material has
proven to be a possible solution for airflow channels when space constraints and low frequency noise
render quarter wave resonators unusable. García-Chocano et al. [16] demonstrated a large reduction
in the transmitted waves in a duct using a quarter-wave resonator metamaterial, which was similar to
a traditional perforate over honeycomb core liner. Therefore, these literature reviews have shown that
it should be possible to incorporate these metamaterial structures into an acoustic coating to increase
the low frequency performance of UAS ducting.
Recently, an additional form of innovative, thin acoustic metamaterials capable of absorbing multiple
frequencies at the same time such as multiple blade pass frequencies was proposed. These new
concepts of thin geometry were first proposed by Leclaire et al. [17], then improved by Dupont et al.
[18-20]. The proposed design comprised a perforated material for which the main perforations were
connected to an array of periodically spaced very thin annular dead-end pores with respect to the
lateral size. This solution consisted in connecting dead-end pores, i.e., thin cavity resonators, on a
main tubular pore to create dead-end porosity materials. One of the advantages of this metamaterial
design was to shift the resonance frequencies of the metamaterial (absorption peaks) towards the lowfrequencies. This can be explained by an increase in the effective compressibility of the material.
Although these studies have shown growing potential of thin metamaterials, they have never been
used in UAS ducts. In addition, the coupling of these metamaterials with conventional sound
absorbing materials, such as glass wool, have not yet been investigated.
The objective of this paper is to develop a metamaterial which can be integrated into a duct and
capable of attenuating the noise at several UAS blade passage frequencies. Moreover, the present
paper proposes a fast and reliable methodology for the characterization of the acoustic properties of
the metamaterial. The proposed thin metamaterial is a Helmholtz resonator (HR) embedded in a glass
wool matrix. The neck of the HR is structured as the metamaterial described in Kone et al. [19, 20].
Serial and parallel transfer matrix methods (TMM and PTMM) [21, 22] are used to construct the
transfer matrix of the metamaterial and to predict its normal incidence sound absorption coefficient
and transmission loss.

MATERIALS
The objective of this study is to develop and characterize the acoustic performance of a metamaterial
capable of attenuating noise at several blade passage frequencies of an ASU rotor ducted at low
frequencies. The metamaterial under study consists of a circular cylindrical Helmholtz (HR) resonator
embedded in a glass wool matrix. The HR has an internal circular cylindrical structured neck
comprising a periodic alternation of sub-necks and cavities. Figure 1 shows the geometric details of
the metamaterial (note that the geometry is axisymmetric). As it can be seen, the resonator is divided
into three parts. Parts A and B are filled with air at rest, where thermo-viscous losses are neglected
due to the large volume-to-surface ratios. Part C is the structured neck of the HR made of N
successions of the periodic cell shown in Figure 1 (b). The structured neck is saturated with air at
rest. Upstream and downstream of the structured neck, an extra thickness of half a sub-neck is added
so that each annular cavity wall is of thickness l. Since the volume-to-surface ratios in the structured
neck are small, thermo-viscous losses will have to be considered in the calculation of the effective air
properties in the sub-necks and in the cavities.

3. MODELING OF THE METAMATERIAL
In order to quickly characterize the acoustic performance of the metamaterial, the transfer matrix
method (TMM) has been adopted. In what follows, the transfer matrix (TM) of each part of the
metamaterial is presented as well as the assembly method making it possible to construct the global
transfer matrix of the metamaterial. This global transfer matrix will make it possible to calculate the
sound absorption coefficient (on a rigid wall) and the sound transmission loss of the metamaterial.
3.1. Helmholtz resonator
The HR is the superposition of parts A, B and C shown in Figure 1. To build its TM, it is necessary
to develop the TM of each of its three parts.
Part A (structured neck)
Part A is the structured neck of the HR. It is similar to the metamaterial studied by Kone et al. [19,
20]. In order to calculate its transfer matrix, surface impedance relations on its periodic unit cell
(PUC) will be developed. The PUC is axisymmetric. It is defined as an assembly of two cylindrical
half-necks, a central cylindrical volume, and an annular cylindrical cavity. In Figure 2, the central
volume is denoted V, and the annular cavity is denoted slit. We have chosen to designate the cavity
by the word "slit" to emphasize the fact that the width h of the cavity is narrow and that it could be
modeled as a slit to take account of thermo-viscous losses.
Figure 2: PUC of the axisymmetric structured neck with locations of surface impedances.
In accordance with the lumped model proposed by Dupont et al. [18], which is based on the surface
impedance of the cavity given by Dickey et Selamet [24], the acoustic surface impedance 𝑍𝑠1 at the
junction of the central volume V and the annular slit is given by the following relation
𝑍𝑠1 = 𝑗𝑍𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡
𝐻01 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝑑 2 − 𝐻02 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝑑 2 𝐻11 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝐷 2 𝐻12 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝐷 2
𝐻11 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝑑 2 − 𝐻12 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝑑 2 𝐻11 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝐷 2 𝐻12 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 𝐷 2
(1)
where 𝐻𝑣𝑚 is the Hankel function of v-th order and m-th kind, 𝑘𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 and 𝑍𝑠𝑙𝑖𝑡 are the effective complex
wave number and characteristic impedance of the air in the slit. These effective properties consider
the thermo-viscous losses using the Johnson-Champoux-Allard (JCA) model [23] with the
corresponding slit parameters given in Table 1.
The acoustic surface impedance 𝑍𝑠2 at the interface between the half-neck and the slit can be deduced
using Equation 24 of Reference [24] and is given by
𝑍𝑠2 =
1
1
ℎ 𝑗𝑘 𝑍0 + 4 𝑍𝑠1 𝑑
(2)
where 𝑘 and 𝑍0 are the wavenumber and the characteristic impedance of the air at rest. Here, these
properties are real since the central volume does not include walls on which thermo-viscous losses
would occur. Knowing the surface impedance of the slit, its transfer matrix is given

The transfer matrix 𝐓𝟏/𝟐 of each half-neck on either side of the slit is given by:
T1/2 =

𝑗
sin 𝑘1/2 𝑙′ 2
𝑗𝑍1/2 sin 𝑘1/2 𝑙′ 2
(4)
cos 𝑘1/2 𝑙′ 2
𝑍1/2
where 𝑘1/2 and 𝑍1/2 are the effective complex wavenumber and characteristic impedance of the air
in the neck which consider for thermo-viscous losses. They were calculated using the JCA model
[23] and the corresponding circular neck parameters given in Table 1. In Equation 4, l’ = l + 0.85d/2
is the effective length to account for end correction.
With the previous transfer matrix, the transfer matrix of the PUC is defined as:
(5)
TPUC = T1/2 Tslit T1/2 .
Since N PUCs are assembled together, the transfer matrix of this assembly is given by raising the
matrix of Equation 5 to the power of N. Also, to complete the construction of the transfer matrix of
the structured neck described in Figure 1, one half-neck has to be added on both ends of the PUC.
Then, the transfer matrix of the structured neck becomes:
TA = T1/2 TPUC

Parts B and C (hard walled cavities of the HR)
In accordance with the modeling of axisymmetric reactive silencers comprising an inlet expansion
chamber [25], parts B and C are seen as two parallel branches in contact with the sub-neck of part A.
The equivalent admittance model of this configuration is shown in Figure 3. As the walls of parts B
and C are acoustically rigid, the surface admittances of parts B and C at the junction with the subneck of part A are respectively given by:
𝑌𝐵 =
𝑆𝐵

𝑌𝐶 =

where 𝑆𝐵 and 𝑆𝐶 are the cross-section areas of parts B and C, respectively, and 𝑆𝑑 is the cross-section
area of the sub-neck. Consequently, the transfer matrix of parts B and C in parallel is given by
TBC =

Combining in series transfer matrices TA and TBC yields the transfer matrix of the Helmholtz
resonator. It is given by:

This transfer matrix is given by

(10)
where 𝑘𝑔𝑤 and 𝑍𝑔𝑤 are the effective complex wavenumber and characteristic impedance of the
glass wool, and Lp is the total thickness of glass wool.
3.3. Metamaterial
The transfer matrix of each of the two elements of the metamaterial being known through equations
9 and 10, we can now construct the global transfer matrix of the metamaterial of Figure 1. Since
these two elements are in parallel, the parallel transfer matrix method (PTMM) [22] will be used for
their assembling. First, we need to define the admittance matrix of both elements by
𝑦𝑖
Y𝑖 = 𝑦 11
𝑖21
𝑦𝑖12
1 𝑇𝑖22
=
𝑦𝑖22
𝑇𝑖12 1
−1
− 𝑇𝑖11
(11)
where i = HR or GW, and subscripts 11, 12, 21, and 22 refer to the coefficients of transfer matrix i.
Following the PTMM, the global transfer matrix of the metamaterial can be written as
TG = −
1
𝑟𝑖 𝑦𝑖21

𝑟𝑖 𝑦𝑖11 −
𝑟𝑖 𝑦𝑖22
𝑟𝑖 𝑦𝑖12
𝑟𝑖 𝑦𝑗21
−
−1
(12)
𝑟𝑖 𝑦𝑖11
where 𝑟𝑖 = 𝑆𝑖 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 is the surface ratio of element i over the total surface of the metamaterial. For
GW, 𝑟𝐺𝑊 = 𝐷𝑝2 − 𝑡𝑝2 𝐷𝑝2 , and for HR, 𝑟𝐺𝑊 = 𝑑2 𝐷𝑝2 . Note that the rigid surface of the HR
(𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑑 = 1 − 𝑟𝐺𝑊 − 𝑟𝐻𝑅 ) is also in parallel with the previous ones; however, its admittance
coefficients are zero.
3.4. Characterization of metamaterial acoustic properties
By defining the global matrix as 𝐓𝐆 = 𝑇𝐺11 , 𝑇𝐺12 ; 𝑇𝐺21 , 𝑇𝐺22 , the normal-incidence sound absorption
coefficient (SAC) of the hard-backed metamaterial and its normal-incidence sound transmission loss
(STL) are given by:

RESULTS
Here, the developed transfer matrix method is used to predict first the normal incidence sound
absorption coefficient, and second the normal incidence sound transmission loss. The design
parameters of the simulated metamaterial are given in Table 2, and the JCA material parameters of
the glass wool are given in Table 3. Here, the structured neck is composed of N = 8 periodic unit
cells.

For the case of sound absorption, two configurations of the metamaterial of Figure 1 are simulated.
The first is the complex HR embedded in a rigid matrix, and the second is the complex HR embedded
in the glass wool. For the first configuration, the same equations as described earlier are used to
construct the model, except that the rGW ratio is set to zero in equation 12. The results obtained with
the proposed TMM and FEM calculations are compared in Figure 5. One can note that embedding
the HR in the glass wool improves the sound absorption. Also, due to its structured neck, it adds
multitone absorption peaks at the neck resonances compared to the case of a simple straight neck of
the same length. The number of resonances is equal to the periodicity N of the structured neck. In
addition, the TMM results closely correspond to the FEM calculations, thus validating the
implementation of the proposed analytical method. However, there are some deviations in the
position of the resonances due to the correction length, used in Equation 4, which should be improved.
In addition, the sound absorption values are slightly lower than those predicted with the FEM. At the
moment, we have no explanation for this difference. Note that the FEM results were obtained with
the acoustic module of COMSOL Multiphysics using an axisymmetric model of the metamaterial
with quartic Lagrange elements. The used model and mesh are shown in Figure 6. The convergence
of the calculations was verified.
For the case of sound transmission, the TMM and FEM predictions of the sound transmission loss of
the metamaterial presented in Figure 1 are shown in Figure 7. The STL of the metamaterial is also
compared to a layer of glass wool of the same thickness and to the STL of the same HR with, this
time, a single straight neck of the same length. There again, the comparisons between the analytical
calculations proposed and the FEM calculations are close. While the classical HR with a straight
neck only adds one tonal peak, the structured neck adds multitone STL peaks at its resonances. As
for sound absorption, the number of resonances is equal to periodicity N. The fact that the mean
STL is larger than the STL of the glass wool alone is mainly due to the fact that the equivalent airflow
resistivity of the metamaterial (HR in glass wool) is larger than the resistivity of the glass wool. For
the FEM simulations, an air cavity was added behind the metamaterial model shown in Figure 6 with
an air impedance condition at the rear surface to simulate an anechoic termination for the STL
calculation.
Note that the design parameters used in the previous simulations were not optimized with a view to
improve the tonal sound absorption coefficient and the sound transmission loss at the complex HR
resonances. Here, the objective of the simulations was to validate the implementation of the proposed
TMM approach by comparisons with FEM calculations, and to highlight some important features of
the studied metamaterial. As an interesting feature, the analytical TMM calculations only took 0.6
seconds (CPU) to solve the problem on 2951 frequency points. For the same number of frequency
points, the converged FEM calculations on COMSOL Multiphysics took between 2 and 3 minutes on
a personal computer equipped with an Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-1607 processor @ 3 GHz. With a
view to optimize the design parameters of such a metamaterial for a given application, the proposed
TMM approach is well suited.

CONCLUSIONS
This paper presented a concept of a thin acoustic metamaterial made of a complex Helmholtz
resonator embedded in a porous matrix and the associated analytical transfer matrix modeling
approach. The complex HR contains a structured neck which creates multitone sound absorption
peaks and sound transmission loss peaks. This is an advantage compared to a conventional HR having
a straight neck which only creates one tonal peak. The number of peaks of the metamaterial is equal
to the periodicity N of the structured neck. The implementation of the proposed analytical modeling
approach was validated by comparisons with finite element calculations. While good comparisons
were obtained between the proposed approach and the FEM calculations, a slight deviation in the
position of the resonances was observed. This deviation is due to the method of calculating the
effective length of the neck to account for end correction. More investigation is required to improve
this calculation. Also, a deviation in terms of the amplitudes was also observed. So far, the authors
have no explanation for this deviation. Finally, the proposed analytical modeling requires only a
fraction of the calculation time of the finite element method. Consequently, it is much suitable for
optimization purpose.
While this work has shown the potential of a thin and easily integrable metamaterial in an UAS
propeller shroud, capable of attenuating propeller N/Rev frequencies, several steps remain to be
investigated. In particular, the optimization of the design parameters to control the resonant
frequencies of the metamaterial to match the frequencies of the tonal noise.
