In accordance with the present invention an aircraft floor panel is
provided comprising a honeycomb core element having an upper core
surface, a lower core surface, and a core thickness. An upper face sheet
assembly is mounted to and seals the upper core surface and includes at
least one upper material sheet impregnated with an upper epoxy resin. A
lower damping face sheet assembly is mounted to and seals the lower core
surface and includes at least one lower material sheet infused with a
highly damped lower epoxy resin. The lower damping face sheet assembly
dampens vibrational noise.
