Abstract
The surface impedance of a plastic foam with high flow resistance has been measured with a new method at acoustical frequencies. The Biot theory provides a description of the behavior of this surface impedance from the contributions of the fast and the slow compressional waves to pressure and acoustical velocity at the surface of the foam. The contribution of the slow wave can be observed in spite of its strong damping.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
