  • Publication number: 20230131268
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an acoustic attenuation structure including a complex acoustic multi-element panel extending along a horizontal and a vertical direction and an acoustic skin covering one of horizontal faces of the complex acoustic multi-element panel, the complex acoustic multi-element panel including complex acoustic elements each having a shape gradually narrowing between a base and a tip and partitions surrounding each complex acoustic element to form a plurality of acoustic cells, the partitions extending along the vertical direction from the base of the complex acoustic elements, the complex acoustic multi-element panel being produced by injection of a filled or unfilled thermoplastic or thermosetting material. The complex acoustic multi-element panel and the plurality of partitions are produced as a single part by injection of a filled or unfilled thermoplastic or thermosetting material.

  • Patent number: 10451006
    Abstract: A propulsion chamber for a liquid propellant rocket engine is provided. The propulsion chamber includes an inside wall made of metal, an outside covering made of organic matrix composite material, and a cooling circuit arranged between the outside covering and the inside wall. The propulsion chamber further includes at least a first axial endpiece secured to the metal inside wall and presenting at least one radial protrusion received in a concave recess in an inside face of the outside covering. The concave recess is situated axially between first and second belts of reinforcing fibers oriented substantially circumferentially in the outside covering in such a manner as to take up forces associated with inside pressure and thrust.

  • Publication number: 20170107945
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of rocket engine propulsion chambers, and more specifically to a propulsion chamber (2) for a liquid propellant rocket engine, the propulsion chamber comprising at least an inside wall (10) made of metal, an outside covering (11) made of organic matrix composite material, and a cooling circuit (12) arranged between the outside covering and the inside wall (10). The propulsion chamber (2) further comprises at least a first axial endpiece (17, 18) secured to the metal inside wall and presenting at least one radial protrusion (19, 20) received in a concave recess in an inside face of the outside covering (11). This concave recess is situated axially between first and second belts (21, 22; 23, 24) of reinforcing fibers oriented substantially circumferentially in said outside covering (11) in such a manner as to take up forces associated with inside pressure and thrust.
