ABSTRACT:
An underwater panel comprises a three-dimensional structure for housing sound absorbing material therein, the structure being waterproof and extremely rigid in construction to prevent compression of the sound absorbing material in an environment of relatively high water pressure while at the same time being relatively highly sound transmissive so as to readily pass energy waves from the surrounding water into the sound absorbing material. The panel comprises an integrally woven and resin impregnated fabric which is relatively highly sound transmissive and which has a pair of waterproof opposite faces joined by a pair of intermediate ribs. A plurality of generally planar stiffening elements which are highly sound transmissive and which may be made from resin impregnated fabrics are inserted into the fabric so as to extend between the opposite faces and provide substantial resistance to compression of the panel due to the pressure of the surrounding water. These stiffening elements which are either disposed adjacent single ribs or within pockets formed by parallel pairs of ribs combine with the ribs to define spaces between the opposite faces in which highly sound absorbent material resides.
