A noise suppression panel having a first cellular core positioned between and bonded to an imperforate facing sheet on one surface thereof and a first sheet of microporous material on the other surface. A second core is bonded between the other surface of the first sheet of microporous material and a perforated sheet. The other surface of the perforated sheet has a second sheet of microporous material bonded thereto. The cells of the two cores are preferably substantially aligned when maximum core-to-core bonding strength therebetween is required. A method of manufacturing is disclosed which includes flow-through resistance testing of the subassemblies.

1. A method of manufacturing adhesive bonded sound suppression sandwich panel providing a predetermined flow-through resistance to satisfy acoustical requirements, the structural components comprising first and second non-metallic honeycomb cores, each having a multiplicity of endwise directed cells, an imperforate facing sheet, first and second sheets of microporous material and a perforate sheet, said method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing the components for assembly by cleaning and degreasing; (b) applying a solvent base first adhesive coating to one surface of the perforated sheet for bonding thereto the first sheet of microporous material; (c) removing the solvent from said solvent base first adhesive; (d) stacking said perforated sheet with the first sheet of microporous material adjacent the first adhesive applied surface, applying a positive pressure between the components and curing said first adhesive; (e) applying a second adhesive to the faying edges of one surface of each of the honeycomb cores; (f) stacking the honeycomb cores, with the second sheet of metallic microporous material sandwiched between the adhesive coated surfaces of the honeycomb cores, applying a positive pressure between the components and curing the first adhesive; (g) applying a layer of the second adhesive between one honeycomb core's remaining open-cell surface and the imperforate sheet and between the other honeycomb core open-cell surface and the perforation exposed surface of the perforated sheet; and (h) stacking the various components in the following sequence, first the imperforate sheet, then one open-cell surface of the now combined honeycomb cores and first sheet of porous material, then the now combined second sheet of porous material and the perforated sheet with the perforated surface adjacent the open cells of the other honeycomb core, applying a positive pressure between the outer surfaces toward the center and curing the second adhesive. 2. The method of manufacture as defined in claim 1 including the additional step of applying multiple layers of the first adhesive, removing the solvent therefrom after step (b) and then repeating step (b) prior to step (c). 3. The method of manufacture as defined in claim 1 including the additional step of vertically aligning the cells of the cores prior to step (f). 4. The method of manufacture as defined in claim 1 including the additional step of testing the flow resistance through the perforate sheet and porous material combination prior to step (g). 5. The method of manufacture as defined in claim 1 including the additional step of testing the flow resistance through the honeycomb cores and porous material combination prior to step (g). 6. The method of manufacturing as defined in claim 1 including the additional steps of testing the flow-through resistance through the perforate sheet and porous material combination and the honeycomb cores and microporous material combination prior to step (g). 7. A method of manufacturing adhesive bonded sound suppression sandwich panel providing flow-through resistance to satisfy acoustical requirements, the structural components comprising a combined first and second non-metallic honeycomb core with a layer of a metallic microporous material therebetween, said honeycomb core/microporous material combination pre-tested to provide a desirous range of flow-through resistance, an imperforate facing sheet, and a combined perforated sheet with a layer of second microporous material adhered to one surface thereof, said combination pre-tested to provide a desirous range of flow-through resistance, said method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing the components for assembly by cleaning and degreasing; (b) applying a layer of adhesive on both core open-cell surfaces; and (c) stacking the various components in the following sequence: first the imperforate sheet, then one open surface of the combined honeycomb cores and layer of microporous material, the combined second layer of microporous material and perforated sheet with the perforated surface adjacent the core cells, applying a positive pressure between the outer surfaces toward the center and curing the adhesive.
