Parameters of models used to described the vibro-acoustic behavior of
porous materials are classified in two categories:
- The "Acoustical" parameters.
- These parameters are related to the interaction between the fluid
and the solid phases in the material. The open porosity and the
static air flow resistivity
are two examples of these parameters
- The "Elastical" parameters
- These parameters are related to the solid phase of the
material. Studies of acoustical porous media are usually limited to
small deformation vibrations these parameters thus reduced to the "elastical &
damping" ones (Young's moduli, Poisson's ratios, structural
damping coefficients...).
