  • Publication number: 20160146106
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft turbofan type engine (1) comprising an air intake duct (2) having an inner face provided with an acoustic attenuation shroud (11) located upstream from a fan (3) of this engine (1). This acoustic attenuation shroud (11) comprises a regular alternation of first portions and second portions with different first and second thicknesses along the radial direction, the number of alternations being greater than twice the number of passing azimuth acoustic vibration modes occurring in the engine (1) without the acoustic attenuation shroud (11) operating under conditions corresponding to a landing phase and a take-off phase.

  • Publication number: 20130142624
    Abstract: A multilayer acoustic treatment panel including a first cellular-structure core sandwiched between a perforated skin and an intermediate skin; and a second cellular-structure core sandwiched between the intermediate skin and a continuous skin. The perforated skin includes at least one pair of high-porosity zones presenting a perforation ratio greater than a perforation ratio of a remainder of the perforated skin and including an inlet zone and an outlet zone longitudinally spaced apart from each other, the high-porosity zones of a given pair communicating through the first cellular-structure core and the intermediate skin with the two ends of a soundwave flow channel arranged in the second cellular-structure core.

  • Patent number: 7891195
    Abstract: A device for attenuating acoustical noise from an exhaust nozzle of a turbojet is disclosed. The turbojet exhaust nozzle includes a central body defining the inner surface of the primary gas flow path. The central body includes an outer wall defining one, and only one, resonator cavity. The single resonator cavity is in fluid communication with the primary gas flow path via orifices through at least one upstream portion of the outer wall. The single resonator cavity and plurality of orifices compose a Helmholtz resonator.

  • Patent number: 7661261
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a structural or non-structural turbojet engine fan casing connecting arm that also acts as a flow straightener downstream of the fan rotor. Its distinctive feature is that it is constructed to form an acoustic attenuator. In particular, it comprises a closed cavity and perforations on one of the faces so as to form a Helmholtz resonator. The arm forms part of the intermediate casing.

  • Patent number: 6085865
    Abstract: A soundproofing panel comprises a honeycomb core sandwiched between a solid skin and a porous skin, the cells of the honeycomb being divided in the direction of its thickness into at least two resonant cavities by a least one partition which is traversed by passages interlinking the cavities. The partitions are formed by a plurality of hollow microbeads having porous walls, the microbeads being bonded to one another and to the walls of the honeycomb at their points of contact. Such a soundproofing panel combines high performance in terms of linearity as a function of the level of sound excitation, attenuation band, bulk and mechanical strength.
