Ultrathin acoustic metamaterial as super absorber for broadband low-frequency underwater sound

Abstract In this work, an ultrathin acoustic metamaterial formed by space-coiled water channels with a rubber coating is proposed for underwater sound absorption. The proposed metamaterial achieves perfect sound absorption ( $$\alpha$$ α  > 0.99) at 181 Hz, which has a deep subwavelength thicknes...
