- a method of making an acoustic attenuating liner comprises the steps of weaving a perforated sheet of composite material, impregnating the perforated sheet of composite material with a resin, curing the perforated sheet of composite material with heat and pressure, forming a honeycomb core of composite material, reticulating the perforated sheet with an epoxy reticulating adhesive comprising a precatalyzed epoxy adhesive in film form which may be applied to the perforated sheet by reticulative process and curing with heat and pressure to bond the perforated sheet of composite material to the core, forming a backsheet of composite material, bonding at least part of the core to the backsheet at an angle of other than 90° with the backsheet with an epoxy supported film adhesive and curing with heat and pressure, weaving a mesh of corrosion-resistant material having acoustic properties which meet desired acoustic resistance values, spraying the perforated sheet with an epoxy adhesive to a thickness of substantially 1.0 to 1.5 mils, staging the epoxy adhesive on
- the mesh is woven in a reverse plain Dutch weave pattern
- the perforated sheet comprises a graphite epoxy open weave woven to a determined open area with the weave having a low profile so as to improve the bonding footprint and provide good aerodynamics
- the backsheet comprises a graphite epoxy structural laminate.
- the perforated sheet, the epoxy reticulating adhesive, the bonding of the mesh to the perforated sheet and the bonding of the core to the backsheet are cured at substantially 10 to 45 psi pressure at a temperature of substantially 330 to 350°F. This sequence results in a face sheet with a low profile which is smooth and does not induce aerodynamic drag in the engine which would reduce engine performance.
- the epoxy reticulating adhesive is a precatalyzed epoxy adhesive in film form which may be applied by reticulative process, such as, for example, Hysol EA9649 or EA9689, which consist of epoxy resin of trifunctional aromatic glycidyl ether and epoxidized novolac and a curative of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone.

- the perforated sheet is sprayed with Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing EC3710 which consists of epoxy resin of a mixture of diglycidy ethers of Bisphenol "A”, epoxy novolacs and multifunctional epoxy resins and a curative of 4,4'- diaminodiphenylsulfone/dicyandiamide.
- the core is bonded to the backsheet with a film adhesive which may be a precatalyzed epoxy adhesive in film form which may be applied by reticulative process, such as, for example, Hysol EA9649.
- a film adhesive which may be a precatalyzed epoxy adhesive in film form which may be applied by reticulative process, such as, for example, Hysol EA9649.

- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a modification of the embodiment of FIG. 2 of the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention
- FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a modification of the embodiment of FIG. 4 of the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention.
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a third embodiment of the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a modification of the embodiment of FIG. 6 of the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention.
- the embodiment of the acoustic attenuating liner of the prior art comprises a backsheet 1 of solid aluminum.
- a corrosion-resistant aluminum honeycomb core 2 such as, for example, the PAA (Reg. Trademark) core of American Cyanamid, is placed on the backsheet 1, which is preferably aluminum, and bonded thereto.
- the core 2 is further protected against corrosion by dip priming in corrosion-inhibiting adhesive primer, such as, for example, Hysol EA9205 primer, which consists of a trifunctional aromatic glycidyl ether and epoxidized novolac epoxy resin cured with a 4,4 , -diaminodiphenylsulfone/dicyandiamide filled with strontium chromate, all dissolved or suspended in methyl ethyl ketone solvent to provide a sprayable solution.
- a corrosion- insulated perforated sheet 3 is provided on the honeycomb core 2. the perforated sheet 3 is corrosion-insulated by anodizing the aluminum sheet coupled with the use of a corrosion-inhibiting adhesive primer, such as, for example, Hysol EA9205 primer.
- the perforated sheet 3 has a per cent open area ranging from 27 to 35% of its surface.
- the selected opening percentage is uniform over the entire surface area of the perforated sheet 3.
- Adhesive 4 of a type capable of reticulation is placed between the perforated sheet 3 and the honeycomb core 2 for bonding said perforated sheet to said core.
- This adhesive is reticulated on the perforated skin to eliminate adhesive blockage of the perforated holes. The only blockage that results is at the intersection of the perforate.
- Standard reticulation methods result in reticulation of the honeycomb core and the inherent blockage of many holes which will result in decreased acoustic performance of the line.
- This "reverse reticulation” is accomplished by using a reticulation system designed to move the perforated skin across an air knife at a predetermined rate and air temperature and flow rate. The air knife is designed to fit the contour of the part such that the reticulation adhesive forms uniformly around the holes. The reticulation is performed on the perforated sheet 3 in order to prevent blockage of the holes.
- the honeycomb core 5 is at an angle of other than 90° with the backsheet 1 whereas in the prior art device, the core 2 is at an angle of 90° with said backsheet.
- the angular positioning of the core 5 permits said core to attain desired goals, since it provides longer core cells in the same dimension of space between the backsheet 1 and the perforated sheet 3.
- the angled honeycomb core 5 of the invention decreases the honeycomb resonance frequency.
- a one inch deep core having a resonant frequency of 2,600 Hz would be reduced to 1,800 Hz when the core is 1.4 inches deep. This angle may be adjusted to meet requirements.
- a modification of the embodiments of FIGS. 2, 4 and 6, shown in FIGS. 3, 5 and 7, provides part of the core 2 at an angle of 90° with the backsheet 1 and part of the core 5 at an angle of other than 90° with said backsheet. This permits two different frequencies to be attenuated. Different parts of the honeycomb core may be provided at different angles with the backsheet 1 thereby permitting different frequencies of sound to be attenuated.
- the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention has the same backsheet 1, honeycomb core 5 at an angle of other than 90° with said backsheet and perforated sheet 3 as the first embodiment, shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the perforated sheet 3 of the second embodiment is preferably corrosion-insulted by anodizing the aluminum sheet in sulfuric acid, followed by priming with a corrosion-inhibiting adhesive primer, such as, for example, Hysol EA9205 primer.
- a corrosion-inhibiting adhesive primer such as, for example, Hysol EA9205 primer.
- Another key to improving the acoustic performance is reducing the thickness of the perforated sheet and maintaining the hole size and spacing.
- a thin skin with a large open area of 27 to 35%, along with the proper wire mesh, will result in a liner which has a low mass reactance factor and low non-linearity factor.
- a mesh 6 woven from corrosion-resistant metal is placed on the perforated sheet 3.
- the mesh 6 preferably comprises a stainless steel which has been woven from an alloy which has been drawn in fine wires prior to this and to a weave pattern which has been shown to yield uniformly repeatable acoustic properties, low non-linearity factors and low mass reactance factors.
- Low non-linearity factors result in liners that are not sensitive to air flow. Grazing flow over the liner surface modifies the liner's orifice discharge coefficient.
- the particular woven mesh pattern can be altered during the weaving process by removing or adding wires in the warp direction.
- the mesh 6 may comprise any suitable known corrosion-resistant wire, a preferred wire alloy is that known as 254SMO produced by Avesta of Sweden and is woven in a reverse plain Dutch weave pattern to meet specific flow resistance values.
- the drawing of thin strands of wire from the alloy 254SMO and weaving this wire into a particular weave for the face skin has a two-fold purpose. The first is for corrosion resistance and the second is for improved acoustic performance.
- a tightly woven mesh having 700 to 755 strands in the warp direction and 130 and 155 strands in the fill direction is selected because it exhibits excellent flow resistance properties. These properties include low non-linearity factors which aid in yielding good acoustic properties of the bond ent.
- the acoustic properties may be adjusted by removing or adding strands in the warp direction.
- an additional adhesive 7 is placed between the mesh 6 and the perforated sheet 3 to bond said mesh to said perforated sheet.
- the additional adhesive 7 is selected especially, because it has predetermined characteristics, including a minimum viscosity of 1000 poises during subsequent curing.
- the additional adhesive is preferably a precatalyzed epoxy adhesive in solution form, suitable for application by spray technique, such as, for example, that manufactured by the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company and known as EC3710.
- the adhesive spray thickness must fall within a designed thickness in order to meet the acoustic requirements, not become blocked, and also have sufficient peel strength to prevent delamination in service.
- the adhesive spray is applied by robot to a set pattern which will apply a uniform coating in addition to an adhesive of predetermined thickness.
- the adhesive 7 When it is used to join metals, the adhesive 7 is substantially 0.6 to 0.9 mil in thickness and when it is used to join graphite composites, the adhesive 7 is substantially 1.0 to 1.5 mils in thickness.
- the additional adhesive is sprayed on by a robot, so that a calculated amount of adhesive thickness is applied to the perforated surface which will provide the correct amount of peel strength and no blockage of the woven wire mesh.
- part of the core 2 is at an angle of 90° with the backsheet 1 and part of the core 5 is at an angle of other than 90° with said backsheet.
- the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention comprises a backsheet 8 of solid composite material of any suitable type, preferably reinforced graphite.
- a honeycomb core 9 of non-metallic material, such as, for example, composite material, such as, for example, NomexTM is bonded to the backsheet 8 with adhesive 10 of any suitable known type.
- the honeycomb core 9 is at an angle of other than 90° with the backsheet 8.
- the key to this part of the structure is the reticulating adhesive.
- the normal acoustic liners have the reticulating adhesive applied to the honeycomb core, which results in blockage of many holes on the perforated skin during the bonding. This blockage results in reduced acoustic performance.
- a method has been devised whereby the reticulating adhesive is applied on the perforated skin. This is accomplished by utilizing a reticulating system which controls the temperature, airflow rate and sweep time of the perforate over the air knife.
- the resulting skin has no blocked holes, so that when it is combined with the other components results in an improved liner.
- a perforated sheet 11 of graphite yarn woven in an open weave and impregnated with epoxy is bonded to the honeycomb core 9 with adhesive 12 of a reticulating type and applied to the open surface by a reticulation process.
- the open weave material is woven to provide an open area of consistent percentage. This material is woven such that the tows of the graphite weave leave a low profile. This is accomplished by dividing the number of graphite strands into smaller bundles during the weaving process.
- a low profile perforated skin results which accomplishes two important tasks. The first is that the low profile provides a wider footprint for bonding the wire mesh and provides greater peel strength.
- the second is that the low profile of the cured perforate is an improved aerodynamic surface which is required for both engine and acoustic performance.
- the per cent open area may be increased or decreased during the weaving thereof to account for changes in acoustic attenuation requirements.
- the stainless steel wire mesh 6 of the second embodiment of the invention is bonded to the perforated sheet 11 by the additional adhesive 7 of the second embodiment of the invention.
- the additional adhesive 7 is controlled to provide good peel strength and low blockage for good acoustic performance.
- part of the core 13 is at an angle of 90° with the backsheet 1 and part of the core 9 is at an angle of other than 90° with said backsheet.
- the acoustic attenuating liner of the invention may be made for a jet engine inlet or bypass cowling.
- graphite is woven to form a perforated sheet.
- the graphite is then prepregged with epoxy resin and cured into a desired configuration, preferably of a portion of an engine cowling.
- Adhesive is reticulated onto the surface of an open weave, such that the open area remains the same, and a honeycomb core of non-metallic material is placed on the surface of the open weave having the adhesive.
- a solid graphite backsheet is placed on the opposite side of the honeycomb core from the open weave. The assembly of the backsheet, the honeycomb core and the perforated sheet is cured in a one-shot autoclave operation.
- the open weave is sprayed with an additional adhesive, which is the same as the additional adhesive of the second and third embodiments of the invention, on its opposite surface.
- the assembly is staged in an oven at substantially 210°F for substantially one hour.
- a stainless steel mesh which is the same as the mesh of the second and third embodiments of the invention, is added to the additional adhesive on the opposite surface of the open weave.
- the additional adhesive is cured and the mesh is bonded to the previously bonded backsheet, honeycomb core and perforated sheet and all are bonded at a pressure of substantially 45 psi.
