We performed a theoretical analysis on collection of equilateral triangular holes with consideration for sound wave attenuation within the tube and then calculated the sound-absorption coefficient and transmission loss. We then compared these results with experimental values. In the experiment, we measured the sound-absorption coefficient and transmission loss of a test sample using impedance measurement tubes with two and four microphones. We estimated the sound-absorption coefficient and transmission loss because of the dimensions of a collection of equilateral triangular holes through theoretical analysis and then compared these results with experimental values. In the present analysis, the propagation constant and characteristic impedance were introduced into a one-dimensional transfer matrix. Considering the effects of sound wave attenuation in the tubule from three-dimensional analysis, we derived the propagation constant and characteristic impedance. Values for the sound-absorption coefficient and transmission loss obtained through the analysis of holes as triangles rather than as circles gave calculation results closer to the experimental values. This is because this method more suitably simulates the effects of the boundary layer that occupies the space within the hole. The results show that the sound absorption coefficient and transmission loss of triangular honeycombs can be estimated with sufficient accuracy using only geometric dimensions and physical properties.
