Resumo

This work details a new acoustic topology optimization methodology with applications on the design of systems composed of rigid and porous materials. The Bi-directional Evolutionary Structural Optimization (BESO) algorithm is combined with the Virtual Temperature Method to minimize the occurrence of air cavities and rough surfaces inside rigid and porous domains, hence configuring a multiconstrained optimization approach. The modeling of porous materials is done by the Johnson-Champoux-Allard (JCA) formulation, while the Finite Element Method is used to approximate the governing equations of the physical system. Two different optimization problems are considered separately: first, a rigid-acoustic metasurface is optimized to reduce regional sound pressure levels (SPL) in a set of observed frequencies, while also considering wind permeability through the structure. Secondly, a coupled poro-acoustic absorptive system is treated in order to enhance the sound absorption coefficient in the low frequency range. Both problems are systematized by the implementation of acoustic-rigid and acoustic-porous material interpolation schemes, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is explored through numerical examples. Here, it is remarked that the methodology maintains the uniformity of rigid barriers, by guaranteeing the absence of internal holes to them. In addition, well-defined cavities are formed in porous domains, increasing their absorption coefficients, but without inflicting macroscopic closed spaces within such structures. In these cases, comparison with appropriate literature is also provided. (AU)
