  • Patent number: 10612186
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a curved cellular structure includes making an expandable fiber structure by multilayer weaving between layers of warp yarns and layers of weft yarns, the structure having zones of non-interlinking extending in the thickness of the structure, the non-interlinking zones spaced apart from one another by portions of interlinking between layers of weft yarns, the portions of interlinking offset by one or more weft yarns in a direction parallel to the direction of the layers of weft yarns between each series of these planes; impregnating the fiber structure with a resin; expanding the fiber structure on support tooling to form a cell in the fiber structure at each zone of non-interlinking, the tooling also presenting a curved shape corresponding to the shape of the cellular structure that is to be fabricated; and polymerizing the resin of the fiber structure to form a curved cellular structure.

  • Patent number: 9631519
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a sound attenuation panel of curved shape, the method including impregnating a fiber structure defining a cellular structure with a ceramic precursor resin; polymerizing the ceramic precursor resin while holding the fiber structure on tooling presenting a curved shape corresponding to the final shape of the cellular structure; docking the cellular structure with first and second skins, each formed by a fiber structure impregnated with a ceramic precursor resin, each skin being docked to the cellular structure before or after polymerizing the resin of the skins; pyrolyzing the assembly constituted by the cellular structure and the first and second skins; and densifying the assembly by chemical vapor infiltration.
