Résumé : |
This paper describes the design and manufacture of the Bow Sonar Dome for the UK Royal Navy's Type 45 Destroyer shown in Figure 1.
Due to the performance requirements, costs and practical considerations the dome shell was manufactured from glass fibre and low temperature curing epoxy resin using Resin Film Infusion (RFI). Due to the narrowness of the aft of the dome it was necessary to manufacture the dome in two pieces, the forward being laminated in a female mould and the afl consisting of a syntactic foam cure that was cast into a female mould, cured and over laminated with glass/epoxy by RFI.
A combination acoustic baffle/internal support was manufactured using polyurethane anechoic elements as cores with a combination of carbon fibre braiding and carbon fibre cloth in a one shot vacuum infusion process using a vinyl ester resin. |
