ABSTRAK
Penyelidikan ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji ciri akustik serabut
sabut kelapa yang berpotensi digunakan sebagai bahan penyerap bunyi. Untuk
meningkatkan ciri akustik serabut sabut kelapa pada frekuensi rendah, lapisan
berliang digunakan di bahagian depan atau belakang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan
nilai galangan permukaan. Bahan selanjutnya dilapisi dengan plat berlubang
dengan nisbah keluasan yang berbeza. Sampel diuji mengikut piawaian
antarabangsa ASTM E 1050-98 untuk menentukan pekali penyerapan bunyi.
Daripada hasil uji kaji, plat 1 mm berlubang yang diperbuat daripada kepingan
aluminium yang melapisi serabut sabut kelapa, didapati bahawa nilai maksimum
pekali penyerapan bunyi berada pada frekuensi antara 2750 Hz hingga 2825 Hz
iaitu dengan nilai 0.97. Nilai nisbah keluasan plat berlubang memberikan
pengaruh penurunan pekali penyerapan bunyi pada frekuensi tinggi. Penurunan
nilai pekali penyerapan bunyi terjadi apabila plat berlubang mempunyai nilai
nisbah keluasan di bawah 0.22. Akan tetapi, penggunaan plat berlubang boleh
meningkatkan prestasi penyerapan bunyi serabut sabut kelapa pada frekuensi rendah.
Kesepakatan yang baik diperoleh daripada keputusan uji kaji dan analisis dengan
pendekatan rangkaian elektrik setara yang digunakan untuk menghitung nilai
pekali penyerapan bunyi. Ini menunjukkan bahawa pendekatan rangkaian elektrik
setara boleh digunakan untuk merancang dan mengoptimumkan ciri akustik serabut
sabut sebagai bahan penyerap bunyi.

ABSTRACT
This research was conducted to study the acoustic
characteristics of coconut coir fiber which has high potential to be used as a
sound absorbing material. To increase the acoustic performance of coconut coir
fiber at low frequency, porous layer was installed in front or behind with the
aims to increase the value of surface impedance. The perforated plate with a
different ratio of perforation was used as a backing plate for the coconut coir
fiber. Samples were tested according to international standard ASTM E
1050-98 for measurement of sound absorption coefficients. A 1 mm perforated plate
made of aluminium backing with coconut coir fiber, showed the sound absorption
coefficient with frequency between 2750 Hz and 2825 Hz with a maximum peak
value of 0.97. The value perforation ratio of perforated plate could reduced
the sound absorption coefficients at high frequency. The decrease in the
coefficient in sound absorption occurred when the perforation ratio of
perforated plates reached below 0.22. However, the use of perforated plates can
increase the acoustics performance of coconut coir fiber at lower frequencies.
Good agreement was obtained from the experimental results and analysis using
the equivalent electrical circuit approach used to calculate the noise
absorption coefficient. This shows that the equivalent electrical circuit approach
can be used to design and optimize the acoustic characteristics of coir fiber
as a sound absorbent.
