United States Patent 3,476,209 ACOUSTIC INSULATING MATERIAL Milton S. Cohen, Arlington, Mass., assignor to Graphic Sciences, Inc., East Rochester, N.Y. Filed Dec. 13, 1967, Ser. No. 690,342 Int. Cl. E04b 1/99 U.S. Cl. 181-33 11 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An acoustical insulating member comprises composites of metallic foil bonded to laminae of flexural damping material. The composites are separated by spacer sheets having voids or air cells over large portions of their surfaces. The flexural damping material minimizes acoustical transmission through the composites in the diaphragm mode, and the voids provide impedance mismatches which minimize transmission in the compression mode.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention This invention relates to acoustical insulating material. More particularly, it -relates to a material suitable for the acoustic isolation of small lightweight enclosures.
Prior art 1Effective acoustical barriers generally employ one or both of two insulating effects. The rst of these is the attenuation through a panel resulting from a large mass per unit area. Thus, lead sheets are often used as acoustical insulation because of the high density of this material. Other metals have been proposed for the same reason, although the thicknesses would have to be proportionately greater than the thicknesses of lead sheets. For example, some investigators have found steel to be an even better material than lead, weight for weight, presumably because of the greater stiffness of steel.
Nonhomogeneous structures are also used for acoustical insulation. Such structures are essentially rigid sandwichlike arrangements in which the attenuation largely occurs in the' transfer of acoustical energy from a layer of one material to a layer of a different material.
These prior arrangements are generally characterized by a large mass -or substantial thickness if a high degree of acoustical attenuation is to be realized. The mass and thickness required are excessive in many cases even in building structures where room-to-room acoustical isolation is the object. In smaller structures these attributes or requirements can lbe intolerable. For example, there are small acoustically-sensitive instruments which require isolation from environmental sounds. The bulk or mass weight of the overall package, a problem that is particularly vexing if the instrument is to be portable.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, a principal object of the invention is to provide an improved acoustical insulating material that is relatively thin and light in weight.
Another object of the invention is to provide an insulating material that is particularly useful in small structures, for example, instrument enclosures.
A further object of the invention is to provide acustical insulating material of the above type which has a significant degree of strength, so as to contribute to the integrity of the structure in which it is incorporated.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide acoustical insulating material of the above type which can 3,476,209 Patented Nov. 4, 1969 ICC be subjected to forming operations without undue degradation of its insulating characteristics.
A further object of the invention is an acoustical insulating material providing the foregoing characteristics without an unduly high cost.
The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements which wil be exemplified in the article hereinafter described.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A sheet of insulating material embodying the invention comprises a plurality of thin sheets or laminae having a high acoustical impedance bonded to sheets of flexural damping material. The resulting composites are spaced apart by grid-like textured sheets so that a large portion of the surface area of each of the composites faces a void. That is, a large portion of the acoustical path between the composites is through air.
There are two basic modes of sound transmission through a panel. The first of these is a diapraghm or drum-head mode in which the entire panel moves to and fro in synchronism with an acoustical driving force on one side. This motion then sets up similar acoustic Waves in the lair on the other side of the panel.
The second mode of transmission is by way of vibration of the panel. That is, compressional waves, similar to those in air, enter the panel on one side and are similarly retransmitted into the air on the other side of the panel.
Several features of the invention combine to reduce transmission in the diaphragm mode. ln the first place, a multi-ply sandwich of the above construction has an inherent overall rigidity to a sound wave, particularly if some of the laminae incorporated in the sandwich are metal sheets. These sheets function in much the same manner as the metallic skins in sandwich constructions used for structural rigidity in panels of various types. Thus, in combination with the damping material they largely inhibit `acoustical transmission by diaphragm-like iiexure of the entire panel. These same metal sheets also function to attenuate compressional mode transmission, as discussed below.
The individual composites of high-impedance laminae and damping laminae are also subject to diaphragm mode transmission. However, they span the short distances across the openings in the grid-like separating sheets and are relatively stiff over such intervals. Moreover, the damping sheets are preferably arranged to provide a form of viscous damping so as to be relatively stiff at acoustical frequencies, while at the same time absorbing a substantial portion of the flexural energy that may be transmitted into the composites.
Compressional mode attentuation is provided by the repeated transfers of acoustical energy between the high impedance composites and the low impedance air passages between them. This attenuation occurs at each interface between low and high impedance media. The acoustical waves are reiiected from these interfaces, and thus the energy within each medium is reflected back and forth and progressively dissipated between such reliections. The high impedance is provided preferably by metallic sheets which can be thin and also of a relatively lightweight metal such as aluminum.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, which is a cross-section of an insulating panel incorporating the invention.
As shown in the drawing, a typical insulating panel made in accordance with the invention comprises a series of high-impedance composites bonded to intervening separators 12. Each of the composites includes a lamina 14 of relatively strong, high-impedance material, generally a metal such as aluminum. A damping lamina `16 is bonded to at least one, and preferably both, sides of the lamina 14.
The damping laminae 16 preferably incorporate a material that has both flexural and compressional damping characteristics, as well as adhesive properties. Thus, the sheet is self-adherent to the high-impedance sheet 14. For example, the laminae 16 may take the form of thin sheets of tissue paper impregnated with polyisobutylene, a material often used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
The separators 12 may simply be textured paper similar to ordinary paper towels. Indeed, a very satisfactory material is a paper towel marketed by Scott Paper Cornpany under the `designation Scott 250. This material has surface voids 12a approximately one-sixteenth inch across, separated by ridges 12b covering approximately 50 percent of the'surface area. In addition, or alternatively, the surfaces of the composites 10 or the laminae 14 may be textured or corrugated to provide the desired air path transmission.
As an example, a panel constructed of the above materials, with the laminae 14 being of aluminum foil approximately 0.001 inch thick and having eight layers of the composites 10, has a thickness of approximately 0.1 inch and a weight of approximately 0.03 oz. per square inch. Yet it compares favorably in attenuation characteristics with a sheet of lead approximately 0.067 iuch thick and Weighing approximately 0.4 oz. per square inch.
In addition to its relatively light weight and small thickness, an acoustical barrier incorporating the invention has a relatively low cost. Moreover, it can be formed into various shapes by heating it so as to weaken the bonds provided by the laminae 16 and thereby permitting neighboring laminate to slip with respect to each other as the sheet is bent. The material also has substantial structural rigidity and can thereby contribute to the overall strength of a housing or wall in which it is incorporated.
'It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are eiciently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above article without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
