Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a review of tools used by the NASA Langley Research Center over the last four decades to experimentally characterize acoustic liners for aircraft noise reduction. Descriptions of past and present NASA test rigs are included to provide context for the application of data acquisition and analysis methods. These test rigs range from simple applications of a raylometer to a waveguide with detailed control over higher-order modes. Methods for impedance eduction based on data acquired in these test rigs are explored in some detail. Strengths and weaknesses of each data acquisition and analysis method are presented, as well as current practices applied in the NASA Langley Liner Technology Facility.
