Abstract:
A fuel injector is provided for a gas turbine engine. The fuel injector includes a fuel conduit and a cooling fluid circuit through a strut. A gas turbine engine is provided that includes a multiple of fuel injectors in communication with a combustor and a cooling system in communication with each of the multiple of fuel injectors.
Abstract:
A damper-seal assembly (70) for a gas turbine engine (20) includes an additively manufactured seal (72) and an additively manufactured damper (74). The damper (74) is additively manufactured within a damper retention area (112) while the seal (72) is additively manufactured to form an inseparable assembly.
Abstract:
A method of forming an object includes installing multiple foil drums within a processing chamber of an ultrasonic consolidation system. The multiple foil drums each include different materials than the other foil drums. The multiple foil drums are positioned so that one of the foils is selected to be placed on top of the build platform. The selected foil is welded onto the build platform or onto a previously processed layer. A portion of the welded foil is then cut. The multiple foil drums are retracted away from the build platform. The portion of the welded foil that was just cut is then consolidated to the object. The build platform is incrementally lowered before the process is repeated to form the next layer of the object.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes first (66;94;142;162), second (68;96;144;164), and third (70;98;146;166) layers. The first layer (66;94;142;162) includes a plurality of flanges (72;102;168). The second layer (68;96;144;164) includes a deformable membrane (74;104;170). The second layer (68;96;144;164) is connected to the first layer (66;94;142;162) along a first major surface (114) of the deformable membrane (74;104;170). The third layer (70;98;146;166) is connected to the second layer (68;96;144;164) along a second major surface (116) of the deformable membrane (74;104;170) opposite the first major surface (114). The third layer (70;98;146;166) includes a first series of internal structures (76;106;172).
Abstract:
A septum-tied tube pack is provided that includes a first outer wall formed by a multiple of first connected radiuses. A second outer wall is formed by a multiple of second connected radiuses. A first end radius connects the first outer wall and the second outer wall. A second end radius connects the first outer wall and the second outer wall. A multiple of septum elements extend between the first outer wall and the second outer wall. A gas turbine engine is also provided that includes an engine case structure and a fluid conduit mounted to the engine case structure. The fluid conduit includes a septum-tied tube pack section.
Abstract:
An embodiment of an apparatus includes a centrifugal drive unit (16, 116), an arm assembly (114, 214), an optional dynamic balancing ring (126), and a workpiece fixture (12, 12'). The arm assembly is operatively connected to the centrifugal drive unit and configured to revolve about a primary axis (18) perpendicular to the arm. The workpiece fixture is mounted to the arm assembly, and is configured to rotate at least one workpiece about at least one secondary axis outboard of the primary axis.
