Disclosed is a method for forming a hollow pipe-sandwiching metal plate and applications thereof. The hollow pipe-sandwiching metal plate comprises a first panel, a second panel, and multiple hollow pipes between the first panel and the second panel; gaps are arranged among the hollow pipes, and the hollow pipes are connected to the first panel and the second panel by brazing. The present disclosure further includes the applications of the hollow pipe-sandwiching metal plate. The hollow pipe-sandwiching metal plate has advantages, such as light weight, high strength, low stress, high temperature resistance, pressure bearing, thermal insulation and vibration isolation. The metal plate will not deform due to thermal difference, thereby providing permanent service life of the metal plate.

A collapsible acoustic honeycomb ceiling installation can be made by cutting desired material into panels. Next, a manufacturer can cut one or more notches into the panels. The manufacturer can assemble the collapsible acoustic honeycomb ceiling installation by aligning the one or more notches on the panels and slideably connecting the panels. The resultant collapsible acoustic honeycomb ceiling installation can provide a versatile decorative feature to a space while maintaining or altering the acoustics of the space as desired. Further, because the ceiling installation is collapsible, a manufacturer or installer can easily transport, install, and remove the ceiling installation.

A module ensuring an acoustic attenuation of a flow of a first fluid and a heat exchange between the first fluid and a second fluid. The module comprises a perforated first wall with a cutout, a second wall, a cellular structure extending from the second wall to the first wall, a recess provided in the cellular structure between a perforated bottom and a perforated top, and a heat exchanger which is fixed inside the recess between the bottom and the top and in which the second fluid circulates. Such a module ensures an attenuation of sound waves and a heat exchange without limiting the attenuation surface.

A cellular structure may include a plurality of cells each having a twelve-cornered cross section. The twelve-cornered cross section may include twelve sides and twelve corners creating nine internal angles and three external angles. Each cell may include a plurality of longitudinal walls extending between a top and a bottom of the cell, the longitudinal walls intersecting to create corners of the cell. A structural component may include at least one wall surrounding a component interior space with a cellular structure having at least two cells positioned within the interior space. A sandwich structure may include first and second planar structures, and a cellular structure positioned between the first and second substantially planar structures.

An existing acoustic honeycomb panel having a radius of curvature is cut into segments that have longitudinal and lateral sides that extend between the edges of the honeycomb. The segments are bonded together along their longitudinal or lateral sides to form a segmented acoustic honeycomb in which the radius of curvature is different from the radius of curvature of the original acoustic honeycomb panel. The shape of the longitudinal or lateral sides of the segments and the thickness of the adhesive bond can be controlled to provide segmented acoustic honeycomb panels that are tightly curved and which are suitable for use in demanding noise damping applications, such as jet engine nacelles.

A device (2) for thermally insulating a building wall (1) from the outside, being applicable in particular to walls and roofs, includes, starting from the wall, a layer (3) of impermeable rigid insulation, spacers (4) and a perforated rigid facing sheet (6) at a distance from the layer (3) of rigid insulation so as to form an air gap (7) between the facing sheet and the layer (3) of rigid insulation. A layer (8) of granular insulation (9) in divided form is contained in synthetic textile bags (10) placed in the air gap (7). A method for implementing such a device is also described.

For forming a sound absorption/insulation honeycomb panel by stacking an air-permeable material, a honeycomb material filled with a sound absorption material and a reflector, and adhesively joining these materials, it is hard to join the honeycomb material and the air-permeable material adhesively due to a thin wall surface of the honeycomb material and a resultant line to surface adhesive joint therebetween, causing a problem of low adhesive strength. By using a water absorption honeycomb material, an adhesive joint is formed with an adhesive joint area increased by dipping an end of a wall surface of a cell forming the water absorption honeycomb material into a water-soluble adhesive, making the end flexible over a fixed period of time, and then pressing the end strongly against an air-permeable material as a counterpart of the adhesive joint to deform a tip into an inverted T-shape.

An assembly forming an acoustic insulator having a first sheet, a pierced second sheet, and a plurality of first and second structures. Each first structure comprises a first and a second strip, wherein each is shaped to form half of the wall of a cage and wherein, for two successive halves, each strip comprises a facet of a joining wall. Each second structure is made up of a first and a second strip, wherein each is shaped to form half of the wall of a cone, wherein. For each strip, at least one of the wall halves of each cone is pierced. For two successive halves, each strip comprises one facet of the connecting wall. Each cone is located in a cell and each connecting wall is located between the two facets of a joining wall, and, between two adjacent first structures, a second structure is likewise fitted.

The present teachings generally relate to an acoustic panel including a backing layer, honeycomb core attached to the backing layer, a mesh layer attached to the honeycomb core, and a face sheet including a flexible acoustic fabric face sheet attached to the mesh layer. The acoustic fabric face sheet can provide improved sound dampening characteristics over, for example, a perforated face sheet, and at a lower manufacturing cost, weight, and a simplified manufacturing process. The acoustic fabric face sheet can be or include a flexible woven and/or knitted fabric including a polymer such as an aromatic polyamide that includes a meta-aramid fiber, or a fiberglass fabric.

To attain an incombustible sound absorption panel by providing incombustibility to a sound absorption/insulation sandwich panel containing a combustible material as a constituting material.

Fine powder of chips generated during cutting of a foam material to fill in a honeycomb material is located in a gap between the foam material and a sound absorption surface material. A gap between fibers of the sound absorption surface material is blocked by the chips having been moved by a flow such as a water vapor flow generated from hydrate of the honeycomb material heated on the occurrence of a fire. As a result, an air flow path is limited. Further, carbon dioxide gas generated from the foam material is trapped to reduce an oxygen amount, thereby inhibiting combustion. Usage of an adhesive as a combustible material is reduced.
