Abstract :
A new approach to the parametric study of acoustic materials for underwater use is presented. The effects of static load and material properties are uniquely folded into the final design parameters. Thus, the static and dynamic viscoelastic material appear the maximum allowable compression and the ratio of the dynamic to static modulus
