The coupling of the double-cavity is capable of extending the absorption to even lower fre- quencies. The absorption performance of the viscoelastic coating in the high frequency range is independent of the backing material. Its energy attenuation depends mainly on acoustic properties of cavity scattering and mode conversion.展开更多
