  • Patent number: 11064292
    Abstract: The present technology provides an acoustic transmission member that includes a core layer layered between two skin layers, the skin layers being formed of a material having a higher elastic modulus than a material of the core layer. A thickness ds of the skin layers is formed such that Equation (1) is satisfied, where f is the center frequency of the transmission frequency band, cw is the acoustic velocity in the medium surrounding the acoustic transmission member, ? is the wavelength corresponding to the center frequency in the medium, Cds is the longitudinal wave acoustic velocity in the skin layer, and n is a discretionary natural number.

  • Publication number: 20160299220
    Abstract: To obtain a sound-transmitting member having a wide sound-transmitting band in a high frequency region. A planar sound-transmitting member having sound-transmitting properties includes two skin layers, N+1 core layers, and N intermediate layers (N=1), in which the core layer and the intermediate layer are alternately stacked between the skin layers. The skin layers and the intermediate layer are formed of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), which is a material having a higher elastic modulus than the core layers formed of rubber.
