| Abstract: | Acoustic black hole (ABH) indentations in beams and plates are known to reduce vibrations and sound radiation above their cut-on frequency, f cut−on. However, their effect on transmission loss between cavities has not been fully explored. This study presents a two-dimensional model, representative of a three-dimensional case, that demonstrates that when the ABH cut-on frequency f cut−on is lower than the plate's critical frequency f crit , an ABH beam can underperform a uniform one in the frequency range f cut−on < f < f crit , leading to lower transmission loss. It is demonstrated that this counterintuitive behavior is linked to the excitation of different types of global modes in the coupled system (Source cavity - ABH beam - Receiver cavity) and to low-frequency non-resonant modes in the ABH beam, which lie in the radiation domain and inhibit the ABH effect. As a result, the acoustic pressure in the receiver cavity becomes higher compared to that for a uniform beam partition. The two-dimensional model is analyzed using a Rayleigh–Ritz formulation that couples the beam's bending displacement to the acoustic particle displacement in the cavities. Natural boundary and traction continuity conditions are imposed weakly, while essential and displacement continuity conditions are enforced using the nullspace method, thus avoiding explicit coupling matrices. [Display omitted] • Transmission loss of acoustic black holes shows previously unrecognized limitations. • A uniform beam outperforms ABHs between the cut-on and critical frequencies. • A displacement formulation is developed to analyze the elastoacoustic problem. • The ABH low-frequency non-resonant modes are responsible for the inefficiency.
