Acoustic liner with cellular structure for noise reduction
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11915679B2) discloses an innovative acoustic liner designed for turbofan engines. The acoustic liner comprises a face sheet, a back sheet, and a core layer with a cellular structure placed between them. This core layer consists of first resonant cells, each featuring a unique design with a surface extension that extends from the cell wall towards the face sheet, creating a cavity within the structure. The length of these surface extensions is emphasized, being greater than two times the thickness of the cell wall, contributing to the liner's acoustic properties.
Furthermore, the patent details the application of this acoustic liner in a turbofan engine, specifically along the duct inner wall of the fan duct. The positioning of the liner, whether upstream, downstream, or radially outboard of the fan blades, is highlighted. The design of the first resonant cells, with arcuate extensions and varying lengths of the cell wall base and top edges, is crucial for optimizing the liner's performance in reducing noise levels within the engine. Additionally, the core layer includes second resonant cells, further enhancing the acoustic properties of the liner. Overall, this patented technology offers a novel solution for noise reduction in turbofan engines, potentially improving the overall efficiency and performance of such systems.
