Sound Absorption Property of Heat-Treated Wood at a Low Temperature and Vacuum conditions

초록

Heat treatment was performed to improve sound absorption properties for four tree species; Tulip tree,Korean Paulownia, Red pine and Costata birch, at temperature of 175°C and 200°C under vacuum condition. Sound absorption properties of two kinds of boards, which were in radial and tangential sections,were measured under a frequency range of 100 to 3200 Hz by the two microphone transfer function method. It was found that sound absorption properties were increased by heat treatment and the efficiency was higher at 200°C than that at 175°C. Even Costata birch had a little effect on low temperature of 175°C, 200°C heat treatment for sound absorption property, the efficiencies of sound absorption were 14,19%, respectively. The efficiencies of sound absorption ranged 22 to 120% for heat-treated Tulip tree,Korean Paulownia.
