Abstract
A dedicated, time dependent finite element program was used to study the absorption of sound in a viscoelastic cylinder containing a cavity. The effect on the sound absorption and the cylinder surface impedance of varying the cavity's size and shape was examined. Representative models were made and tested in a novel impedance tube and the experimental data is in good agreement with the finite element studies.
