Abstract:
A gas turbine engine assembly includes first and second annular members having different first and second thermal expansion coefficients connected together with dual arm V brackets. Brackets include first and second arms angularly spaced apart from a bracket centerline and extending axially away from bracket bases attached to a first one of the first and second annular members. Arms are attached to a second one of the first and second annular members. A turbine frame includes struts extending between outer and inner rings. An annular mixer and centerbody substantially made from a ceramic matrix composite materials is connected to and supported by the outer and inner rings with first and second sets respectively of the dual arm V brackets. Bracket bases of the first and second sets are attached to the outer and inner rings respectively. Arms of the first and second sets are attached to mixer and centerbody respectively.
