An Experimental Study Of Sound

Absorption Co Efficient From Waste

Materials Reinforced Using
Impedance Tube
 Abstract
• This paper presents the sound absorption properties of a natural
waste of agave tequilana fiber with kevlar fiber impedance tube . A
single layer of the agave tequilana and Kevlar fiber fibers was tested
in this study for its sound absorption properties.
The review of paper is to represent a general study on the
alternative material for the impedance tube material.
In the present work, one composition of agave tequilana fiber
and kevlar fiber reinforced epoxy composites were developed.
Another composition of bamboo fiber and e-glass fiber reinforced
epoxy composites were developed.The effect of fibre loading
varying from on the mechanical properties of agave tequilana fiber,
kevlar fiber and epoxy composite was studied. The study of
mechanical properties(tensile, hardness and impact) of the
composites was also investigated.
Khedari et al. the absorption coefficients of four fibre assemblies,”
(2003) cashmere, goose down, acrylic fibre and kapok”.
These materials are natural and acrylic fibers.
Natural fibers have distinctive internal structures
that influence the sound absorption coefficients,
which are measured according to thedensity,
thickness and sound frequency to check the
contribution of natural fibre against air

Arenas and Crocker (2010) compared among the ancient substances and the
new substances at acoustic porosity, so developed
at high quality, perfect to become more safety and
thinner. Moreover, these substances are more
smoothly to build up environment, hence using
organic substances in to decrease noise. In order for
creating novel or develop these. For this reason,
many researches concentrating in acoustic
substances absorption may be more efficiency and
activity in future.
(Khedari et al., 2004) After a year developed a particleboard of
low thermal conductivity manufactured
using a mixture of durian peel and coconut
coir at an optimum ratio of 90:10 (coconut
coir to durian) by weight. The density was
856 kg/m³, the thickness was 10 mm and
the ratio of extracted coconut coir to
durian fibre was quite low, with their
differences between 0.0728 and 0.1342
W/m K. Meanwhile,

Mahzan et al. (2010)) investigated the feasibility of composite

from coconut coir, with addition second-
hand tube rubber, for sound absorption
material. So, the affect of adding second-
hand rubber particles and sway of
polyurethane are investigate, as possible
substitute of industrial and metal fibers. To
obtain the higher coefficient absorption
sound. On the other hand, by using these
components for preserve the environment
from pollution and noise reduction

 DIE MAKING

The tooling involved in plastic molding is quite similar to that of stamping

dies. The principal difference is that stamping requires force, while
molding does not. In plastic molding, two units are required whose design
is such that, when brought together, they make up a system of closed
cavities linked to a central orifice. Liquid plastic is forced through the
orifice and into the cavities, or molds, and when the plastic solidifies, the
molds open and the finished parts are ejected.
