Analysis of the mechanical and acoustic absorption characteristics of the elongated mercerized cane and bamboo vegetable fibers

Abstract

This work aims to study the characteristics of the sound absorption coefficient of the elongated mercerized plant fibers of cane and bamboo. The elongated cane and bamboo fibers were initially prepared with the approximate dimensions of 150.0 mm and then mercerized in 10% ܱܰܽܪ solution and manually defibrated with the approximate diameter of 2.0 mm. Therefore, the mechanical test of the mercerized elongated fibers was performed to obtain the mechanical characteristics. With this, samples were developed considering the weight and the thickness for the measurement of the acoustic absorption coefficient. The obtained result was that the fibers in study have significance as acoustic absorption material in the engineering.
