Method for inserting septum into acoustic liner

1. An acoustic liner comprising:

A first sidewall;

A second sidewall, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall at least partially define a plurality of cells disposed therebetween; and

A unitary pre-cut septum ribbon comprising a plurality of permeable septa and a plurality of connecting members coupling the plurality of permeable septa together, with each one of the plurality of permeable septa being generally within a respective one of the plurality of cells,

Wherein each septum in the plurality of permeable septa is facing a first direction, each connecting member in the plurality of connecting members is facing a second direction, and the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction.

2. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , wherein each connecting member in the plurality of connecting members is contacting with and coupled between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

3. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , further comprising:

a first panel; and

a permeable panel spaced from the first panel, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall extend between and engage to the first panel and the permeable panel.

4. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first sidewall is engaged to the second sidewall.

5. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are each one continuous, folded, panel.

6. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , wherein the perimeter of each septum in the plurality of permeable septa interferes with the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

7. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are corrugated.

8. A method for manufacturing an acoustic liner, comprising:

Disposing a unitary pre-cut septum ribbon between a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the unitary pre-cut septum ribbon comprising a plurality of permeable septa and a plurality of connecting members coupling the plurality of permeable septa together;

Coupling the first sidewall to the second sidewall, thereby forming a plurality of cells therebetween, and fixing the unitary pre-cut septum ribbon between the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and

Twisting each of the plurality of permeable septa with respect to the first sidewall such that at least a portion of a perimeter of each of the plurality of permeable septa interferes with the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

9. The method set forth in claim 8 , further comprising bonding each septum to at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

10. The method set forth in claim 8 , further comprising cutting the unitary per-cut septum ribbon to form a mesh sheet.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the unitary pre-cut septum ribbon is disposed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall such that the unitary pre-cut septum ribbon, the first sidewall and the second sidewall are parallel to a first axis, and each of the plurality of permeable septa are substantially perpendicular with the first axis in response to being twisted with respect to the first sidewall.

12. The method set forth in claim 8 , further comprising:

coupling a first panel to the first sidewall and the second sidewall; and

coupling a second panel to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are disposed between the first panel and the second panel.

13. An acoustic liner comprising:

A first sidewall;

A second sidewall, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall define a plurality of cells disposed therebetween; and

A unitary pre-cut septum ribbon comprising a plurality of permeable septa coupled together via a plurality of connecting members, with each one of the plurality of permeable septa being generally in a respective one of the plurality of cells,

Wherein the first sidewall is folded about a plurality of first edges along a first direction, the second sidewall is folded about a plurality of second edges along the first direction, each one of the plurality of first edges are in contact with a respective one of the second plurality of edges.

14. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 13 , wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are corrugated.

15. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 14 , wherein each permeable septum in the plurality of permeable septa face a first direction and the plurality of connecting members face a second direction.

16. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 15 , wherein the first sidewall is at least one of bonded or welded to the second sidewall.

17. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 13 , wherein a perimeter of each septum in the plurality of septa interferes with the first sidewall and the second sidewall.
