Abstract

Due to their low weight, high fire resistance and good mechanical strength, SOLIMIDE® Polyimide foams are good candidates for sound packages in aerospace sound transmission applications. However, their high resistance to airflow limits the sound absorption efficiency inside a double wall structure and thus the sound transmission loss of the structure. The paper discusses two concepts to improve the transmission efficiency of such materials for double wall applications: (i) improving its sound absorption behavior by removing mechanically or chemically the cell membranes and thus decreasing both the flow resistance and tortuosity, (ii) coupling the Polyimide foams to screens (porous or impervious) to improve the transmission loss in targeted frequency bands.
