Sound Absorption Amount of sound energy not reflected S: p. 761, , F.18.2
Sound Absorption Absorption coefficient α=Iα/Ii α=absorption coefficient Iα=sound power intensity absorbed (w/cm2) Ii=sound power impinging on material (w/cm2) 1.0 is total absorption
Sound Absorption Absorption coefficient S: p. 759, T.18.1
Sound Absorption Absorption A=Sα A=total absorption (sabins) S=surface area (ft2 or m2) α=absorption coefficient sabins (m2)= 10.76 sabins (sf)
