Acoustic Impedance of a Helmholtz Resonator at Very High Amplitude

The acoustic impedance of a Helmholtz resonator terminating a ten‐inch diameter tube has been investigated for sound pressure levels in the resonator of from 100 db to 170 db and for a range of particle velocities in the neck of from 1.3 cm/sec to 1.2×104 cm/sec (rms). Two different mounting orientations showed the same general rise in acoustic resistance and rise in resonant frequency with increasing sound pressure level but gave quite different results in detail.
