Abstract: A panel includes a structural substrate and a damping element including a viscoelastic material (VEM) layer coupleable to the structural substrate of the aircraft, and a constraining layer coupled to the VEM layer. The VEM layer is configured to dampen a vibration of the structural substrate. The constraining layer is configured to apply a shear force to the VEM layer.

Abstract: A first tooling die and a second tooling die are movable with respect to each other. The first tooling die and the second tooling die form a die cavity. The first tooling die and the second tooling die comprise a plurality of stacked metal sheets. A plurality of air gaps is defined between adjacent stacked metal sheets. A first smart susceptor material is within the die cavity and connected to the first tooling die. The first smart susceptor material has a first Curie temperature. A second smart susceptor material is within the die cavity and associated with the second tooling die. The second smart susceptor material has a second Curie temperature lower than the first Curie temperature. A flexible membrane is between the second tooling die and the first smart susceptor material. The flexible membrane is configured to receive pressure.

Abstract: Heating apparatus and methods for thermally processing a part including improved control of temperature. A thermal management system is coupled to a back surface of a table thermally coupled to an inductive heating circuit. The thermal management system includes a chamber defining an interior space, at least one cooling fin disposed within the chamber, an inlet extending through the chamber and fluidly communicating with the interior space, and an outlet extending through the chamber and fluidly communicating with the interior space. In some applications, an air source fluidly communicates with the inlet and is selectively operable to generate an air flow through the chamber, so that the thermal management system may be selectively operated in an insulator mode and a cooling mode.

Abstract: A heating apparatus for thermally processing a part includes a table formed of a thermally conductive material and a table inductive heating circuit thermally coupled to the table. The table inductive heating circuit comprising a plurality of table induction coil circuits electrically coupled in parallel with each other. Each table induction coil circuit includes a table electrical conductor and a table smart susceptor having a Curie temperature. First and second table induction coil circuits have pairs of segments positioned adjacent each other that are configured to carry current in opposite directions. In some examples, the table induction coil circuits have partially nested, rectilinear hook shapes. In other examples, the table induction coil circuits overlap each other at rhombus-shaped turns.

Abstract: A computer system enables a noise level associated with a structural substrate to be reduced. The computer system includes a memory device for storing data, and a processor in communication with the memory device. The processor is programmed to define a modulus of elasticity, a thickness, and/or a distribution associated with one or more damping elements coupleable to the structural substrate, define at least one operating parameter associated with the structural substrate and the one or more damping elements, simulate a first performance of the structural substrate and/or the one or more damping elements to generate a first performance data set; and determine whether the first performance data set satisfies a predetermined threshold. The first performance data set is associated with the at least one operating parameter and the modulus of elasticity, the thickness, and/or the distribution associated with the one or more damping elements.
