摘要：Helmholtz resonators offer an ideal platform for advanced sound absorbers, but their utility has been impeded by inherent frequency range limitations and the lack of function reconfiguration. Here, we introduce a multi-order Helmholtz resonator (MHR) that allows multiple monopolar resonant modes theoretically and experimentally. The combination of these modularized MHRs further creates reconfigurable multi-band anomalous absorbers in a two-port transparent waveguide while maintaining undisturbed air ventilation. In asymmetric absorption state through coupling of artificial sound soft boundary with preposed MHR, sound energy is almost totally absorbed in multiple frequency ranges when sound waves are incident from one side while it is largely reflected back from the opposite side. Interestingly, the original asymmetric absorber would turn into symmetric bidirectional absorber if one post MHR concatenates after the soft boundary. Using combination of identical MHRs, we demonstrate function selective asymmetric/symmetric absorber in multi-bands, highlighting the potential to use MHRs in the design of diverse devices for more versatile applications.
