Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of acoustic panels intended for the aeronautical sector.
- a conventional aircraft propulsion assembly comprises acoustic panels, commonly called “sandwich panels”, comprising two skins and a honeycomb structure enclosed therebetween.
- the honeycomb structure is generally a honeycomb structure forming acoustic absorption cavities, or Helmholtz cavities, making it possible to attenuate the noise generated by the propulsion assembly.
- the skin intended to be oriented towards the source of the noise is made permeable to air, typically using orifices passing through this skin in order to be able to guide the air within the cavities and thus absorb acoustic energy.
- the thickness of the panel determines the length of the cavities and therefore their attenuation capacity.
- a longer cavity makes it possible to attenuate longer waves and therefore lower frequencies.
- thermosetting composite panels which generally include bevelled edges, also called chamfers. Such chamfers make it possible to join the two skins of the panel so as to form monolithic returns for closing the panel.
- FIG. 1 shows a panel Al comprising a perforated skin A2, a solid skin A3 and a honeycomb structure A4 forming inclined cavities A5.
- THE Al panel has an A6 leading edge and an A7 beveled trailing edge.
- the cavities A5 are oriented towards the front edge A6 of the panel Al so that their axis A8 forms a relatively large angle A9 with the front edge A6 and a relatively small angle A10 with the rear edge A7.
- the invention aims to provide an acoustic panel capable of attenuating low frequencies while having a small footprint.
- the invention also aims to overcome the aforementioned manufacturing difficulties.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a panel of reduced mass.
- Yet another object of the invention is to reduce the manufacturing cost of such a panel.
- the subject of the invention is an acoustic panel for an aircraft propulsion system, comprising a first skin, a second skin and a honeycomb structure forming sound absorption cavities which each extend along an axis oblique to the first skin.
- the cavities are divided into several groups including a first group in which the cavities are oriented towards a front end of the panel and a second group in which the cavities are oriented towards a rear end of the panel.
- the inclination of the cavities allows them to have an acoustic length greater than the distance between the first and the second skin.
- the invention thus makes it possible to reduce the size of the panel while maintaining good acoustic performance and, in particular, to attenuate lower frequencies for a given size compared to a conventional panel.
- the distribution of the cavities into two groups of different orientation makes it possible to reduce the risks of collapse during manufacture while producing a panel with bevelled edges.
- the panel therefore does not require the installation of means for supporting or joining the skins at the front and rear ends of the panel, or else stabilization means, which makes it possible to reduce the mass and the cost of the panel.
- the invention thus makes it possible to provide an acoustic panel compatible both with a bevelled panel edge geometry and with new-generation propulsion assemblies, which can in particular be distinguished from a conventional propulsion assembly by a larger overall diameter, a lower fan rotation speed and therefore lower frequencies to be attenuated.
- the honeycomb structure comprises a front block forming the cavities of the first group and a rear block forming the cavities of the second group.
- honeycomb structure in two blocks facilitates the manufacture and assembly of the panel.
- the honeycomb structure can comprise more than two blocks.
- the honeycomb structure may comprise the aforementioned front and rear blocks as well as one or more intermediate blocks extending between the front and rear blocks.
- the honeycomb structure may comprise the aforementioned front and rear blocks forming a first layer or floor of the honeycomb structure as well as one or more other blocks forming a second layer or floor of the honeycomb structure.
- the honeycomb structure includes a leading edge and a trailing edge that are each bevelled.
- the front edge is formed by the front block and the rear edge is formed by the rear block.
- several of said cavities of the first group open onto the front edge of the honeycomb structure and several of said cavities of the second group open onto the rear edge of the honeycomb structure.
- the second skin preferably comprises a front part covering the front edge of the honeycomb structure.
- the second skin comprises a rear part covering the rear edge of the honeycomb structure.
- the second skin also preferably comprises a middle part connecting the front part and the rear part of the second skin to each other and covering a surface of the alveolar structure.
- the front part and the rear part of the second skin each extend obliquely with respect to the middle part of the second skin so as to join the first skin.
- the front edge and the rear edge of the alveolar structure each form with the first skin an angle of between 30 degrees and 60 degrees, more preferably between 40 degrees and 50 degrees, for example equal to, or close to, 45 degrees.
- this angle can be formed with a fictitious plane tangent to the first skin.
- the front edge and/or the rear edge can be curved.
- the aforementioned angle can be formed by a fictitious plane tangent to the front edge and/or to the corresponding rear edge.
- the axis of each of the cavities forms an angle of inclination with respect to the first skin comprised between 30 degrees and 50 degrees, more preferentially between 35 degrees and 45 degrees, for example equal to, or close to , 45 degrees.
- first skin and/or the second skin comprise a composite material with an organic matrix.
- the aforementioned material is a thermosetting composite material, that is to say the matrix of which comprises a thermosetting polymer.
- the honeycomb structure includes a metallic material.
- the panel forms a cylindrical structure or a sector of a cylindrical structure.
- the panel forms at least one flat surface.
- the honeycomb structure comprises several stages.
- each of the stages of the honeycomb structure can comprise cavities from the first group and cavities from the second group.
- the invention also relates to a propulsion assembly for an aircraft, comprising at least one panel as defined above.
- the panel forms a casing of a turbomachine of the propulsion assembly, or is fixed to such a casing.
- the aforementioned casing may be a fan casing.
- the panel forms part of a propulsion assembly pod.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a panel as defined above.
- the method comprises a step of assembling the panel followed by a step of baking the panel.
- the assembly step comprises a step of placing the honeycomb structure on the first skin and a step of placing the second skin on the honeycomb structure.
- the step of arranging the alveolar structure on the first skin comprises arranging said front block of the alveolar structure on a front part of the first skin and arranging said rear block of the alveolar structure on a rear of the first skin, so that the front block and the rear block of the honeycomb structure are adjacent to each other.

- FIGS. 2 and following include a reference frame DI, D2 and D3 respectively defining a longitudinal/axial direction, a circumferential/tangential direction and a radial direction orthogonal to each other.
- a propulsion unit 1 for an aircraft comprising a turbomachine 3 and a nacelle 4 extending around a central longitudinal axis 2.
- the turbomachine 3 is a turbofan engine.
- front and rear are considered according to a direction SI of the main flow of the gases in the propulsion assembly 1 along the axis 2 which is parallel to the direction D1.
- the propulsion assembly 1 comprises, from the front to the rear, an air inlet 5, a fan 6, a secondary vein 7 delimited radially inwards by an internal fairing 8 enveloping a gas generator 9 formed by the turbojet engine 3 and radially towards the outside by elements of the nacelle 4, and a nozzle 10 for ejecting a primary flow leaving the gas generator 9.
- the nozzle 10 comprises a cone of ejection 11 and an ejection nozzle 12.
- the invention relates more specifically to acoustic panels 20 intended to equip such a propulsion assembly 1.
- the propulsion assembly 1 comprises several acoustic panels 20 as described below, shown in bold lines in Figure 2. These panels 20 include panels 20A forming an internal wall of the air intake 5, panels 20B forming part of the inner fairing 8 and panels 20C delimiting the secondary stream 7, panels 20D forming a wall external of the ejection cone 11 and the panels 20E forming an internal wall of the ejection nozzle 12.
- each of the panels 20A to 20E extends circumferentially around the axis 2 forming a ring sector.
- each of the panels 20A extends over a respective circumferential sector so as to form together a cylindrical structure of axis 2.
- What has just been described concerning the panels 20A applies by analogy to the panels 20B to 20E .
- a panel 20 in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention is shown in section in FIG. 3, along a section plane parallel to the directions DI and D3.
- the panel 20 comprises a first skin 21, a second skin 22 and a honeycomb structure 23 comprising in this example a front block 24 and a rear block 25.
- the front block 24 has an inner surface 26, an outer surface Tl, a front surface 28 forming a front edge of the honeycomb structure 23 and a rear surface 29, giving the front block 24 a shaped section of quadrilateral.
- the surfaces 26 to 29 of the front block 24 are, in the section of FIG. 4, shown flat.
- the surfaces 26 and T1 are shown parallel to the axial direction DI and the rear surface 29 is shown parallel to the radial direction D3.
- one or more of these surfaces 26 to 29 may have a curved geometry, both in the section of FIG. 4 and/or in other sections.
- the front block 24 extends along the circumferential direction D2 so as to form a sector of cylindrical structure.
- the front block 24 comprises partitions 30 delimiting cavities 31 which extend both radially and axially.
- some of these cavities 31 open on the one hand on the internal surface 26 and on the other hand on the front surface 28, others among these cavities 31 open on the one hand on the internal surface 26 and on the other hand on the other hand on the external surface T1, and still others among these cavities 31 open on the one hand on the rear surface 29 and on the other hand on the external surface 27.
- Each of the cavities 31 extends along an axis 32 oblique with respect to the internal 26 and external 27 surfaces.
- the axis 32 of each of the cavities 31 forms with the surfaces 26 and T1 an angle 33 of approximately 45 degrees.
- the front surface 28 for its part forms an angle 34 of approximately 45 degrees with respect to the internal surface 26 of the front block 24, so that the front edge of the honeycomb structure 23 is bevelled.
- the axis 32 of the cavities 31 opening onto the front surface 28 of the front block 24 forms with this front surface 28 an angle of approximately 90 degrees, which makes it possible to reduce the risk of collapse of the panel 20 at this front edge during cooking.
- each of the cavities 31 has a hexagonal cross-section, in a plane normal to the axis 32.
- one or more of the cavities 31 may comprise a triangular, square or other cross-section.
- the cavities 31 can have any other shape making it possible in particular to avoid telegraphing.
