Abstract

This invention concerns a multi-layered acoustic liner which breaks up high amplitude sound and shock waves into several waves of the same type but smaller amplitudes, converting some acoustic energy into heat and shifting part of the acoustic energy to a higher frequency level to achieve better absorption by the atmosphere. The sandwich-type perforated plate acoustic liner comprises several layers of honeycomb backing material which are separated by thin perforated sheets.
