A disclosed embodiment provides an acoustic panel having a composite laminate panel having a back sheet layer, a face sheet layer, and a core layer disposed therebetween. The core layer has one or more depressions at an interface between the core layer and the face sheet layer, with the face sheet having a generally uniform thickness across the composite laminate panel. A hole extends through the composite laminate panel at the depressions, and a bolt assembly extends through the hole such that it is countersunk.

1. An acoustic panel, comprising: a composite laminate panel having a back sheet layer, a face sheet layer, and a core layer disposed between said back sheet layer and said face sheet layer;wherein said core layer has one or more depressions at an interface between said core layer and said face sheet layer;wherein said face sheet layer conforms to said one or more core layer depressions, and has a depression surface within said one or more depressions and a face surface at all other locations not within said one or more depressions, said face surface being substantially parallel to said depression surface, a transition surface extending between said face surface and said depression surface;and wherein said face sheet layer has a generally uniform thickness across said face surface and said depression surface;wherein said one or more depressions have a depth as measured between said depression surface and said face surface;a hole located in said depression surface and through said one or more depressions extending through said core layer;a bolt assembly extending through said hole, said bolt assembly including a first bushing extending into said core layer, wherein a flange of said first bushing extends above said depression surface at a height that is less than said depth of said one or more depressions and said flange is disposed on said depression surface;said bolt assembly further comprising a second bushing at said back sheet layer, said first and second bushing both extending into said core layer. 2. The acoustic panel of claim 1 wherein said back sheet layer is bonded to said core layer. 3. The acoustic panel of claim 1 wherein said face sheet layer is bonded to said core layer. 4. The acoustic panel of claim 1 wherein said bolt assembly comprises a bolt extending through said first and second bushings. 5. The acoustic panel of claim 1 wherein said face sheet layer has a plurality of apertures within said face surface. 6. The acoustic panel of claim 1 wherein said depression surface is generally flat. 7. The acoustic panel of claim 1 wherein said core layer has a honeycomb cross-section extending between said face sheet layer and said back sheet layer. 8. An acoustic panel comprising: a composite laminate panel having:a back sheet layer which may be positioned opposite an air flow path;a core layer bonded adjacent said back sheet layer, said core layer acoustically damping noise, said core layer having at least one depression on a side of said core layer adjacent a face sheet layer;said face sheet layer bonded to said core layer and capable of being positioned adjacent said air flow path, said face sheet layer having a face sheet surface and at least one depression surface substantially parallel to said face sheet surface, said at least one depression surface positionally corresponding to said at least one depression, said at least one depression surface having a depression surface hole aligned with a depression hole extending through said core layer;a bolt assembly including a bolt and a front bushing piece extending through said hole of said face sheet layer, a rear bushing piece capturing said back sheet layer and engaging said front bushing piece, said front and back bushing pieces engaging one another within said core layer, said bolt threadably engaging said at least one bushing, a flange of said bolt assembly disposed against said depression surface and said flange having a height which is less than a height between said face sheet surface and said at least one depression surface. 9. The acoustic panel of claim 8, said panel further comprising a hole in said back sheet layer. 10. The acoustic panel of claim 8 further comprising a plurality of apertures in said face sheet for acoustical treatment. 11. The acoustic panel of claim 8, said bolt extending through said front bushing piece and engaging said back bushing piece. 12. A method of forming an acoustic panel, comprising the steps of: forming a face sheet layer having an outermost surface, at least one depression surface being substantially parallel to said outermost surface, and a hole;forming at least one depression in a core layer, a position of said depression surface corresponding to a position of said depression of said core layer;bonding said face sheet layer of a composite mixture to said core layer;bonding a back sheet layer to said core layer;positioning a bolt assembly through said acoustic panel and capturing said face sheet, said core layer and said back sheet, said bolt assembly comprising a front bushing piece and a second bushing piece engaging one another within said core layer, wherein said depression surface and said outermost surface define a first height, and a bolt head and a flange of said front bushing piece of said bolt assembly define a second height;and further wherein said first height is greater than said second height. 13. The method of claim 12 further comprising bonding said bolt assembly to at least one of said face sheet layer and said back sheet layer. 14. The method of claim 12 said forming said face sheet layer comprising pressing said face sheet layer with a tip mandrel having a boss puck. 15. The method of claim 12 further comprising positioning a silicone caul sheet on said face sheet opposite said tip mandrel. 16. The method of claim 15 further comprising positioning a silicone sheet on said silicone caul sheet opposite said face sheet layer. 17. The method of claim 16 further comprising a silicone sheet adjacent disposed between said tip mandrel and a platen. 18. The method of claim 12 further comprising forming said face sheet between first and second platens.
