Zusammenfassung:This paper presents the technological advancement of using friction powders to increase the absorption of acoustic liners used in the reduction of tonal noise generated by aero-engines or for other applications related to Helmholtz resonators used in noise absorption of low frequencies. The experimental research was conducted during the European project ARTEM (2017–2022), and after. This concept was inspired by the discovery made by several historians of narrow neck bottles filled with ash in the old Christian churches. These artifacts were made with the purpose of absorbing low frequency noises. Based on this creative idea, the present authors proposed a new method of noise absorption capabilities of acoustic liners filled with various types and quantities of natural and artificial powders. Considering the positive results the ARTEM project offered, COMOTI continued testing this concept by using even finer cork powders manufactured with a new technology. Measurements in Kundt tubes showed that noise absorption increased significantly in broadband for low frequencies (over 0.9 at high frequencies and 0.6 at low frequencies, 500 Hz). Some of the researched powders can be used in the field of bladed machines to reduce the aerodynamic noise of an aircraft or in the automotive industry where the reduction of low frequency noises is necessary.
