An acoustic liner () with perforation () and method of constructing () an acoustic liner including forming perforations in the facing sheet by grit blasting () the facing sheet and mounting () the facing sheet to one side of a support layer having a set of partitioned cavities wherein the facing sheet closes an open face of the cavities except for the perforations to form a set of acoustic resonator cells.

Acoustic liner and methods of constructing an acoustic liner

An acoustic liner for a turbine engine, the acoustic liner includes a support layer that includes a set of partitioned cavities with open faces, a facing sheet operably coupled to the support layer such that the facing sheet overlies and closes the open faces, a set of perforations located in the facing sheet and in fluid communication with a corresponding one of the cavities to form a set of acoustic resonators, and at least a subset of the perforations have an axially-oriented, relative to the axial flow path, inlet.

Acoustic liners for use in a turbine engine

An acoustic liner for a turbine engine, the acoustic liner includes a support layer that includes a set of partitioned cavities with open faces, a perforated sheet that includes a set of perforations with corresponding inlets, the perforated sheet supported by the support layer such that perforations are in overlying relationship with the open faces to form paired perforations and cavities that define acoustic resonator cells, and a coating applied to the perforated sheet.

Acoustic liners and method of shaping an inlet of an acoustic liner

A single degree of freedom (SDOF) acoustic liner includes a porous face sheet, a substantially imperforate back sheet generally parallel to and opposing said porous face sheet and defining a thickness therebetween, and an acoustic core layer of contiguous adjacent resonant cavities disposed between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet. The acoustic core layer includes a first resonant cell having a first internal volume therein and a second resonant cell having a second internal volume therein different than the first internal volume. A cell partition wall extends between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet, and separates and seals the first resonant cell from the second resonant cell. In a thickness direction, and perpendicular to a plane generally parallel with the porous face sheet and the substantially imperforate back sheet, the first internal volume overlaps the second internal volume over the cell partition wall.
