Abstract:
A damper seal received in a cavity of a turbine blade located between a platform and a retention shelf damper seal according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a central body portion having a first end region, an opposing second end region, and a width. The damper seal further includes a first portion extending from the first end region of the central body portion, and a first end region of the first portion includes first outwardly extending tabs that define a first enlarged portion that has a first width greater than the width of the central body portion and a second portion extending from the opposing second end region of the central body portion.
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 segmented sideplate for use in a gas turbine engine (20) is described. The segmented sideplate includes a first plate (100; 600) having a first circumferential edge (205) configured to interface with a complementary circumferential edge. The segmented sideplate also includes a second plate (102; 602) having a second circumferential edge (207) configured to interface with the first circumferential edge (205).
Abstract:
A rotatable sealing structure for a gas turbine engine (20) includes a first blade (64) and a second blade (64). A seal (80) is arranged between the blades (64) and has a body (80) that is configured for operative association with the first and second blades (64) in a first orientation and in a second orientation to seal a gap (76) defined between the blades (64).
