Abstract
Acoustic mediums are disclosed herein. The acoustic mediums can include a plurality of layers. The layers of the acoustic mediums can include fibrous acoustic materials that are entangled throughout the layer. In certain instances, the layers of the acoustic medium can include first portion of acoustic materials disposed along a first plane, and a second portion of acoustic materials disposed along a second plane. Methods of fabricating multi-layer acoustic mediums are also disclosed.
Claims20
An acoustic medium comprising:
- a fibrous acoustic material comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is electrically oriented and entangled within the second portion, wherein the first portion of the fibrous acoustic material comprises between about 10% and about 40% of the fibrous acoustic material.
A method of fabricating an acoustic medium, comprising:
- disposing a fibrous acoustic material to form a first layer;
- electrically orienting a first portion of the fibrous acoustic material to entangle the first portion of the fibrous acoustic material with a second portion of the fibrous acoustic material;
- and
- wherein the first portion of the fibrous acoustic material comprises between about 10% and about 40% of the fibrous acoustic material.
A method of fabricating an acoustic medium, comprising:
- disposing a fibrous acoustic material to form a first layer;
- orienting a first portion of the fibrous acoustic material to entangle the first portion of the fibrous acoustic material with a second portion of the fibrous acoustic material, wherein the first portion of the fibrous acoustic material comprises a first average denier and is oriented with an electric field, and wherein the second portion of the fibrous acoustic material comprises a second average denier and is substantially unaffected by the electric field;
- and
- compressing the first and second layers together.
