Acoustic liner
An acoustic liner that may be for a turbofan engine includes a first panel that may be non-permeable and a permeable panel spaced from the first panel. A non-permeable wall located between the first panel and the permeable panel faces in a first direction away from the first panel and a non-permeable wall, also between the panels, faces in a second direction away from the first panel and traversing the first direction. The liner may further include a plurality of sidewalls spaced from one-another, extending between the panels, and through the walls.
1. An acoustic liner comprising:
a first panel;
a permeable panel spaced from the first panel;
a first wall located between the first and permeable panels and facing in a first direction away from the first panel, wherein the first wall is non-permeable;
a permeable wall located between the first and permeable panels and facing in a second direction away from the first panel and traversing the first direction; and
a plurality of sidewalls spaced from one-another, extending between and engaged to the first panel and the permeable panel, and through the first and permeable walls;
wherein each one of a plurality of cells are defined between the first and permeable panels and adjacent sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls, and the first and permeable walls are each one of a plurality of first and permeable walls with each one of the plurality of first and permeable walls being generally in a respective one of the plurality of cells;
wherein the plurality of first walls each have opposite first and second edges with the first edge engaged to the first panel and the second edge engaged to the permeable panel;
wherein the plurality of permeable walls each have opposite first and second edges with the first edge engaged to the first wall and the second edge engaged to the permeable panel, and the first edge is spaced from the first panel; and
wherein an angle measured between the first wall and the first panel is about forty-five degrees.
2. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first panel is a non-permeable back panel.
3. The acoustic liner set forth in claim 1 , wherein the permeable panel includes a plurality of non-permeable segments defined and spanning between the second edge of the first wall and the second edge of the adjacent permeable wall.
4. A liner for a turbofan engine comprising:
a non-permeable panel;
a permeable panel spaced from the non-permeable panel;
a non-permeable wall located between the non-permeable and permeable panels and facing in a first direction away from the non-permeable panel;
a permeable, DDOF septum, wall located between the non-permeable and permeable panels and facing in a second direction away from the non-permeable panel and traversing the first direction; and
a plurality of sidewalls spaced from one-another, extending between and engaged to the non-permeable and permeable panels, and through the non-permeable and permeable walls;
wherein the permeable, DDOF septum, wall extends between opposing first and second edges, the first edge contacts the non-permeable wall and is discrete from the non-permeable panel, and the second edge contacts the permeable panel.
5. An acoustic liner, comprising:
a first panel;
a permeable panel spaced from the first panel;
a first wall located between the first and permeable panels and facing in a first direction away from the first panel, wherein the first wall is non-permeable;
a permeable wall located between the first and permeable panels and facing in a second direction away from the first panel and traversing the first direction; and
a plurality of sidewalls spaced from one-another, extending between and engaged to the first panel and the permeable panel, and through the first and permeable walls;
wherein each one of a plurality of cells are defined between the first and permeable panels and adjacent sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls, and the first and permeable walls are each one of a plurality of first and permeable walls with each one of the plurality of first and permeable walls being generally in a respective one of the plurality of cells;
wherein the plurality of first walls each have opposite first and second edges with the first edge engaged to the first panel and the second edge engaged to the permeable panel; and
wherein the plurality of permeable walls each have opposite first and second edges with the first edge engaged to the first wall and the second edge engaged to the permeable panel, and the first edge is spaced from the first panel.
