  • Patent number: 11676567
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sound absorption structure comprising a cellular panel, a porous layer positioned on a cellular panel first face, a reflective layer positioned on a cellular panel second face and a plurality of acoustic elements positioned in the cellular panel. The method comprises the steps of producing, for each acoustic element, a recess in the cellular panel opening out onto the first and second faces of the cellular panel, inserting the acoustic elements into their recesses, laying an anchoring layer on the second cellular panel face, curing or polymerization at a first pressure to connect each acoustic element to the cellular panel and/or to the anchoring layer, putting in place the porous layer and the reflective layer, and curing or polymerization at a second pressure to connect the porous layer and the reflective layer to the cellular panel.

  • Patent number: 11572189
    Abstract: An acoustic absorption structure comprising a plurality of resonators. Each resonator comprises a first chamber which has a first mouthpiece delimited by an edge pressed against an inner surface of a porous zone of a skin so that the first chamber and the skin delimit a first cavity, a second chamber, in which is positioned the first chamber, which delimits, with the first chamber, a second cavity, at least one acoustic orifice passing through the first chamber, at least one drainage orifice passing through the first chamber and at least one drainage hole passing the second chamber, each drainage orifice and each drainage hole being configured to limit an accumulation of fluid in the resonator. Also, an aircraft propulsive assembly or an aircraft comprising the acoustic absorption structure are provided.

  • Patent number: 11325323
    Abstract: A method for producing an acoustically resistive structure includes the steps of creating, consolidating and cutting a first layer of reinforcing fibres embedded in a first thermoplastic resin having a first melting point so as to obtain an interlayer, a step of laying a second layer of reinforcing fibres against a first face of the interlayer, a second consolidation step of consolidating the second layer of reinforcing fibres embedded in a second thermoplastic resin having a second consolidation temperature lower than the first melting point of the first resin so as to obtain a non-perforated external layer bound to the interlayer, a step of perforating the external layer and a step of laying an internal layer on a second face of the interlayer. An acoustically resistive structure obtained from the method as well as a sound-absorption panel including such an acoustically resistive structure are also described.

  • Publication number: 20200342843
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an acoustic absorption structure including an acoustically resistive layer, a cellular structure, a reflective layer and a plurality of acoustic elements positioned in cavities produced in the cellular structure. This method comprises steps of depositing fiber plies on a contact surface of the cellular structure, fitting a flexible jacket which covers a stack composed of the acoustically resistive layer, the cellular structure and the fiber plies, which is tightly linked with the deposition surface all around the stack, consolidating the fiber plies to form the reflective layer and the fixing thereof on the cellular structure, with a caul plate being inserted between the fiber plies and the flexible jacket during the consolidation step.

  • Patent number: 10807275
    Abstract: A toolage for manufacturing a tubular preform of fibers comprising a mold which has a deposition surface on which are superposed laps of fibers and a compacting device configured to cap the mold. The compacting device comprises first and second rings, at least one seal-tight flexible conduit linked to the first and second rings and at least one rigid link element linking the first and second rings. Such a compacting device makes it possible to greatly reduce the time for it to be installed, which makes it possible to reduce the duration of the compacting cycles.

  • Patent number: 9040148
    Abstract: The invention relates to method for obtaining a part made of a composite of fibers embedded in a resin matrix which comprises a body and an edge. The method comprises a first step of stacking plies of fibers and further comprises a step of curing the plies. The method further comprises prior to the curing step, the step of covering the edge with at least one additional ply, in order to compensate for the migration of the resin during curing.
