β¦ Synopsis
A two-dimensional finite element technique, corroborated with experimental results, was used to explore the acoustic characteristics of 90 ~ bends when cross modes propagate. The influence of changes in geometry on these characteristics was established over a range of inner and outer radii and the effects of including a turning vane were examined. The energy reflected was related where possible to the aerodynamic characteristics.

In most turbofan engine intakes, the acoustically lined region consists of several liner segments which are separated by longitudinal hard-walled intercostal strips or splices. Measurements indicate that the duct modal spectrum can be considerably altered by such circumferential variations in acoust
The transmission of sound energy, in the form of internally propagated higher order modes, through the walls of "fiat-oval" air conditioning ducts is investigated by means of numerical solutions to the equations of motion for the duct walls and the acoustic wave equation governing sound propagation
