Abstract

Abstract Widely used empirical and semi-phenomenological models lack practicality due to unstable predictions or reliance on numerous parameters that are not directly measurable. This paper presents an experiment-driven method to simplify the Johnson–Champoux–Allard–Lafarge (JCAL) model by utilizing and relying on a two-microphone impedance tube only. Inverse characterization is applied to determine the non-acoustical parameters (i.e., tortuosity, airflow resistivity, viscous and thermal characteristic lengths, and static thermal permeability), and the regression method is then used to correlate porosity with these non-acoustical parameters. The simplified JCAL model is validated against the original model and experimental results for acrylic, silk, and wool fibers. The models perform well for porosities between 92% - 98% but underestimated sound absorption at 99% due to frame vibration effects. This experiment-driven simplification method reduces the JCAL model to a single parameter, porosity, enhancing efficiency, enabling faster predictions, and making the model more applicable to optimization strategies and broader applications.
