Abstract

This paper introduces a novel spatially curved acoustic metamaterial incorporating the principles of spatial curvature and fractal self-similarity. Utilizing the equivalent parameter method, the effective mass density of the fractal acoustic metamaterial unit cell is extracted, revealing near-zero density characteristics within a specific frequency range. Finite element analysis demonstrates that arranging these near-zero density fractal unit cells in a specific periodic arrangement forms an acoustic metamaterial capable of efficiently controlling acoustic waves in a targeted frequency range. This includes achieving objectives such as sound invisibility, acoustic tunneling, bending of narrow slit transmission, and wavefront shaping. The study further analyzes the correlation between the occurrence of these acoustic phenomena and the peak frequency of the transmission coefficient in the near-zero density acoustic metamaterial. Experimental validation is conducted through the fabrication of 1st and 2nd order near-zero density acoustic metamaterial unit cell samples using 3D printing technology. Transmission coefficient tests are performed, and a comparison with finite element analysis results demonstrates a good agreement, affirming the accuracy of the results and the effectiveness of the designed structure.
