    Abstract: Tooling for manufacture of an apertured element made of a composite material includes first and second sole plates and tooling elements. Each sole plate is configured to be placed on either side of the apertured element to be manufactured. The tooling elements are placed between the first and second sole plates. The tooling elements include at least one core and peripheral bars. The core is configured to delimit a cell of the apertured element to be manufactured. The core is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates. The peripheral bars are placed on a periphery of the core and configured to delimit the apertured element to be manufactured. At least one peripheral bar is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sound attenuating panel uses an alveolar-core structure including a first edge and a second edge separated by alveolar cells, the alveolar cells including walls extending from the first and second edges and defining a primary conduit for the circulation of a sound wave that is to be attenuated. The method includes covering the first edge or the second edge of the alveolar-core structure with a compartmentation wall; deforming the compartmentation wall to define at least one secondary conduit for the circulation of a sound wave that is to be attenuated, the secondary conduit extending at least partially within said primary conduit; and creating an opening in the compartmentation wall to permit communication between the primary and secondary conduits.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a preform has a non-developable end shape having, about a longitudinal axis (A), an end overall radius of curvature (R2), and, in at least a longitudinal section, curved segments forming bending radii linking straight segments. The method includes a step of depositing successive layers giving the preform an initial substantially rotational shape having, about the longitudinal axis (A), an initial overall radius of curvature, then a step of deploying the preform by increasing the initial overall radius of curvature until the end overall radius of curvature is reached (R2), in order to close the bending radii of the curved segments.
