Abstract
A simple equivalent fluid model is proposed to describe the acoustic behavior of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled fibers otherwise known as Shoddies. The model requires knowledge of the bulk density only, a parameter that is easily measured. Characterization testing was completed on nine Shoddy fiber constructions processed by one of three different methods: thermal bonding, resin bonding, and mechanical bonding. The parameters measured directly were bulk density, open porosity, tortuosity, static airflow resistivity, and normal incidence sound absorption. The materials’ viscous and thermal characteristic lengths and static thermal permeability are determined using indirect acoustical techniques. Empirical relationships linking the material parameters to the bulk density are then substituted into several popular equivalent fluid models. The most accurate ‘simplified’ model is selected by comparing each model’s ability to accurately predict the materials’ acoustic behavior using normal incidence sound absorption to assess performance. The present work is of interest to sound engineers in predicting the acoustic performance of Shoddy-based absorbers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
