Abstract Effective absorption of low-frequency waterborne sound with subwavelength absorbers has always been a challenging work. In this paper. we derive two theoretical requirements for broadband perfect absorption of low-frequency waterborne sound by ultrathin acoustic metasurface under a finite-thickness steel plate followed by semi-infinite air. Based on the theoretical requirements. https://www.chiggate.com/voyage-et-cie-5-3-wick-candle-discount/
