Comparisons of Impedance Prediction Models for Perforate-over-Honeycomb Liners

A large dataset is used to evaluate the efficacy of multiple impedance prediction models for perforate-over-honeycomb liners. Two-factorial analysis is used to explore the relative importance of the key parameters used in these models. Tests are conducted in the NASALangley Normal Incidence Tube and Grazing Flow Impedance Tube with over eighty perforate facesheets at multiple source sound pressure levels, Mach numbers and frequencies. Each prediction model is then compared with this dataset to determine how well each method predicts the measured data. Finally, an optimizer is used to further improve the ability of one of these models to reproduce the measured results.

Examination of Perforate Facesheet Impedance Prediction Models

This study examines several perforate facesheet impedance prediction models. Each model is validated with impedances educed from acoustic pressure measurements acquired in the NASA Langley Research Center Normal Incidence Tube (NIT) and Grazing Flow Impedance Tube (GFIT). This measurement dataset includes results for 73 NIT samples acquired at sound pressure levels of 100, 120, and 140 dB, and for 9 GFIT samples acquired at SPLs of 120 and 140 dB and at mean flow speeds of Mach 0.0, 0.3, and 0.5. Multiple metrics are evaluated based on different potential applications of the selected perforate facesheet model. An optimizer is then used to modify one of these models to more accurately match the full measurement dataset.

Near-Surface Layer Perforations as Precursors to Fracture in Accumulative Roll Bonding of a Multilayered Metal Composite

We use micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) to characterize the sizes, shapes, and locations of layer perforation (LP) defects in laminates of copper (Cu) and tantalum (Ta) processed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB). One—termed Cu/Ta—was processed from an initial stacking of seven alternating Cu and Ta sheets, with the exterior sheets being Cu. In the other—termed Ta/Cu—the exterior sheets are Ta. Cu/Ta remained intact during processing and exhibits an approximately uniform spatial distribution of LPs. By contrast, Ta/Cu fractured by longitudinal splitting. LPs in this latter sample are concentrated near the sample surfaces. Moreover, their density increases with decreasing distance to the fracture surface. Furthermore, these findings show that materials undergoing ARB may remain intact, despite profuse formation of LPs, provided that the LPs are uniformly distributed. However, a non-uniform distribution of LPs is correlated with longitudinal splitting.

Responsive blends of block copolymers stabilize the hexagonally perforated lamellae morphology

Blends of block copolymers can form phases and exhibit features distinct from the constituent materials. Herein we study thin film blends of cylinder-forming and lamellar-forming block copolymers across a range of substrate surface energies. Blend materials are responsive to interfacial energy, allowing selection of pure or coexisting phases based on surface chemistry. Blending stabilizes certain motifs that are typically metastable, and can be used to generate pure hexagonally perforated lamellar thin films across a range of film thicknesses and surface energies. This tolerant behavior is ascribed to the ability of blend materials to redistribute chains to stabilize otherwise high-energy defect structures. The blend responsiveness allows the morphology to be spatially defined through multi-tone chemical surface patterns.
