Abstract: The acoustic performance of a dissipative expansion chamber lined with two concentric, annular layers of fibrous material with different resistances is investigated. A two-dimensional analytical approach is used to determine the transmission loss of this dissipative silencer. From the boundary conditions at the rigid wall, and the interfaces between the fibre layers and the central airway, the characteristic function and thus eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for sound propagation in the dissipative chamber are obtained, leading to transmission loss through application of pressure and velocity matching. The effects of geometry and fibre properties on the acoustic attenuation are also discussed.
