Summary

This chapter presents the basics of designing devices for sound absorption. The absorption coefficient and acoustic

impedance are introduced. Characteristic properties and parameters of sound absorption material and basic

elements are presented. Acoustic modeling, analysis, and design considerations of components, such as ducts, and

noise attenuation devices, such as mufflers, are presented. A practical design example is presented for illustration of

the concepts presented in the chapter.
