description The lateral plates are usually used in the field of structural design of acoustic metamaterials (AMs), which can realize the control of AMs on sound waves. Presently, researches on the application of AMs with lateral plates mainly focus on the regulation of sound waves in air media, and rarely involve the research on their underwater acoustic properties. Therefore, a composite acoustic structure is designed by inserting regularly distributed lateral plates into the viscoelastic rubber, and then, the AMs with multiple coupling substructure (AMs-MCS) can be obtained through combining the local resonance structure and functional gradient structure. Based on underwater acoustic calculation model for the functional gradient acoustic structure established by grade finite element method (G-FEM), the underwater sound absorption characteristics of the AMs-MCS are studied, and the influence of each substructure on the acoustic performance of the AMs-MCS is explored. Numerical results indicate inserting gradient-distributed multiple lateral plates inside the homogeneous acoustic structure can improve the sound absorption performance of the acoustic structure in the mid-and high-frequency ranges and the sound absorption frequency band of the acoustic structure can be effectively broadened. Moreover, the sound absorption coefficient of the AMs-MCS is greater than 0.8 at 500Hz-10 kHz, and the average sound absorption coefficient reaches 0.893, thus achieving low-frequency and broadband sound absorption performance.
